I actually hadn't considered displaying text snippets after the search
results yet, but it's a worthy consideration. So let me just say
that at the moment it's a step farther than I want to take for the 0.6.0
release. Also, rather than adding a parameter to [[$Searchresults]],
I'd probably just create a separate directive such as [[$Searchsnippets]].
Another consideration: in uploads one gets a list of available uploads
by doing [[$Attachlist]]. Should that have been [[attachlist:...]]
instead?
And to pre-empt the obvious question: No, I really *don't* have a
good distinction in meanings/interpretation between the [[$Word]] and
[[word:...]] forms of directives. Originally things such as
[[$Title]], [[$Group]], [[$Titlespaced]], [[$Groupspaced]], [[$Search]],
etc. were named by way of reference to their $...Fmt variable
equivalents, while [[noheader]], [[spacewikiwords]], and the like
tended to be "directives" that affected the overall page and didn't
produce any direct output. But [[include:]] and [[$Attachlist]] might
not fit well into that model... :-( Should we try for something
more consistent, or not bother?
