Querki has built-in Search capabilities -- users can Search from the box in the menu bar, and the
results are shown on the standard Search Results page. But sometimes you want more control over your searches:
you want to show the results directly on a page, formatted the way you like. Or you want to control precisely what
gets searched. The _search() function gives you that power.
Note: _search will never return the Thing that it is defined on. That's necessary in order to prevent
infinitely-recursive results.
