+>>>>>> Correct me if I'm wrong: ikiwiki generates an Omega template from its own templates, such as searchquery.tmpl and puts it into {$srcdir}/.ikiwiki/xapian/templates/query. Omega has its own template syntax, where function names are prefixed with dollar signs (`$`). So, when I call my wiki `$foobar`, ikiwiki generates an Omega template that looks like this snippet:
+
+ <div id="container">
+ <div class="pageheader">
+ <div class="header">
+ <span>
+ <a href="http://example.com">$foobar</ a>/search
+ </span>
+ </div>
+ </div> <!-- .pageheader -->
+
+ <div id="content">
+ $setmap{prefix,title,S}
+ $setmap{prefix,link,XLINK}
+ $set{thousand,$.}$set{decimal,.}$setmap{BN,,Any Country,uk,England,fr,France}
+ ${
+ $def{PREV,
+ $if{$ne{$topdoc,0},<INPUT TYPE=image NAME="<" ALT="<"
+ SRC="/images/xapian-omega/prev.png" BORDER=0 HEIGHT=30 WIDTH=30>,
+ <IMG ALT="" SRC="/images/xapian-omega/prevoff.png" HEIGHT=30 WIDTH=30>}
+
+>>>>>> So `$foobar` clashes with Omega's template tags. Does this help?
