Item11318: SEARCH macro gives p tags when there are no results

When using the SEARCH macro and there are no results, an empty paragraph

<p></p>

is returned rather than a plain text blank line. This is even with zeroresults="off". I have tried using format="$topic" and format="$web.$topic".

Hrm, this might be more for when I concatenate two searches as in Support.Question981. I'll get back to you.

ok, i managed to do this in a non-intuitive way. basically, in Support.Question981 I have an array of SEARCHes I want to concatenate. I want the results line separated. That is, if a SEARCH has zero results, I want nothing, and if it has results, I want a newline at the end. Looking at the code, I believe the only way to do this is with:

  format="<nop>$topic$n" 
  nofinalnewline="off"
  separator=""
