Comment (by ronnieg):

 Replying to [comment:14 dd32]:
  "that due to (well, what I would call a bug) pages took priority over
 /search/ when `%category%` or `%postname%` was the first token in the
 URL,.."

 And I might argue, in a friendly way, that if a webmaster has explicitly
 specified `%category%` or `%postname%` for their custom permalink
 structure, then that's exactly what they intended, so it should take
 priority, and is NOT a bug. Now, the recent change, well intentioned as it
 may have been, negates the webmaster's intent, and also has the potential
 to cause major issues, simply because it will break sites like mine, where
 the "bug" was actually performing as intended.

 I'm pretty reasonable, and would just like to have a user friendly and
 supported way to make it work as before, without a core code hack.
