Thanks for the "heads up". When Geoff folded in your stuff into 3.2,
he stripped out the search policy code, so this isn't a problem in
the current source tree. You may want to let Eric Luhrs know, though,
unless this problem is fixed in the 3.1.3 patch you just reposted.
According to Rajendra Inamdar:
