Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):

 Just ran into this, but with a different configuration other than `www.`.

 * Primary site of network: `demo.example.com`
 * Secondary sites of network: `foo.example.com`, `bar.example.com`, etc...

 When attempting to search for sites, it looks for
 `search%.demo.example.com`.

 I believe @jeremyfelt's first assessment to avoid concatenating
 `$current_site->domain` is the bare minimum. I'll go 1 step further and
 say that my expectation as a network admin is to see results from both the
 `domain` and `path` regardless of installation type, and let me narrow the
 results with more precise search strings if necessary.
