Yes I agree. A cookbook page to demonstrate various search forms, to
show examples of building forms with input controls for searching.

But my experiments are a bit flawed, even though working mostly. I
would just like to see a proper searchresults header text without the
{$$var} appearing. And I don't understand why it actually works.
I hope some light can be shed on this.

We can use the Test.SearchForm page to try things out, and migrate
things later to a Cookbook page perhaps (and link it to
Cookbook.Input).
