Ah, yes.  Is that directory a subdirectory of wiki.d/ ?  If so,
then due to the way pagelist works it the page will still show

(that normally appears on Site.Search) so that it reads

    (:searchresults list=normal:)

This will cause PmWiki to exclude infrastructure pages from
search results output.
