This I'd already done :-)

Works like I charm, but you have to create that page before it works in 
practice. In my case I did

    XLSDV('en',array('Main/SearchWiki'=>'LyX/SearchWiki'));

because I want the user to get the sidebar associated with the group LyX
rather than with the group Site, since "normal" users will almost always
work with LyX/ (or one of its siblings).

I also did:

	$RecentUploads = array(
	  'Site.AllRecentUploads' => 
	    "[[$UploadUrlFmt$UploadPrefixFmt\$UploadName \$UploadName]]",
	  '$Group.RecentUploads' => '[[Attach:$UploadName $UploadName]]');

and this seems to work.

Probably, IMO it's also more consistent with the principle of least
surprise.

I wasn't very clear... what I really meant was that I wanted the sidebar 
that shows up in the LyX group show up next to the search results, since 
this is the sidebar that a normal user most frequently uses.
