OK, so the problem here is that the search textbox accepts a regular
expression as input [1]. Well, "?home" is an illegal regular expression. I
guess the thing to do here is to display a more friendly error message? Or
were you looking for some other behavior?

Now you have two problems."

I just did a quick check and ? doesn't seem to break anything.
? being appended to a keyword wont break anything... but just '?' on the
input box or ' ?' at the start of the keyword (i.e. ?home) will display this
error message
parsing "?" - Quantifier {x,y} following nothing.

current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information

parsing "?home" - Quantifier {x,y} following nothing.

this is also the same with * (asterisk) and \ (backslash)...
parsing "\" - Illegal \ at end of pattern.

So, the answer is that the order is not defined. The search page asks each
namespace that's in scope for all topics, unsorted. Depending on a bunch of
stuff, this could come back in any order.
I'm not sure what the correct behavior should be. Presumably lexical order.
i am using a database as a backend...
i created this page (in order of creation) LinkToNewPage, FwSync,
WhatIsEverythingCalled, and ActiveTools... and when i do search, the results
are rendered thru that order too... but i observe in flexwiki.com that it is
really in alphabetical order... which is the one that we would want to... :)
also, about _ContentBaseDefinition, i have downloaded version 2.0.0.72...
still it plugs this error... (
<http://localhost/flexwiki-2.0.0.72/default.aspx/SqlNamespace/_ContentBaseDe
finition.html>
http://localhost/flexwiki-2.0.0.72/default.aspx/SqlNamespace/_ContentBaseDef
