OK, here's the deal. htsearch doesn't complain if it can't find a
template file, as it's designed to work as silently as possible. If you
grab the 3.1.6 snapshot (http://www.htdig.org/files/snapshots/) you can
use htsearch -v to get some debugging output about failed template files.
The wrapper file is a bit of an oddball as it was added afterwards,
to satisfy the need some users had for an integrated header and footer
in one file. That means the wrapper file, if properly specified and
formatted, will override the header and footer files. So, if htsearch
is using the wrapper file, changes to the header and footer files have
no effect, and vice-versa. htsearch uses the wrapper file if the
attribute is specified, if the given file exists, and if the pseudo-
variable $(HTSEARCH_RESULTS) exists in the file.
