Sorry -- one more thought:

   [[$Searchresults ...]]

Now that this is a variable, does this make it easier to display a text
snippet after each result showing the first reference to $Needle? I'm
assuming that PrintText (?) could evaluate any wiki markup in the text 
snippet. If so one may want a keyword on [[$Searchresults]] to let authors 
specify a terse or verbose results list.

Or is this a step too far?
