Basically Special:Search doesn't filter on insane queries containing, e.g., newlines, and it seems to render it all as wikitext (try: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/ index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=%0D%0A*+This+is+an+unordered+list%0D%0A*+Another+item and look at the top of the page, "you searched for"). Some sanity checks would be good to add here.
Alternative URL that could confuse silly people: <http://tinyurl.com/2exfw5>. Some quote marks around the search terms wouldn't hurt. :P
Now strips newlines in r32148. (Note this is for internal search engine; old LuceneSearch probably still won't do it. We won't be using it in a couple days.)
