Enabling search may interfere with content

[cagix]

Just for information: If you happen to have some content with the name search (e.g. search/index.md or search/wuppie/_index.md ...) and a search.html is generated from it, then activating the search functionality will overwrite your content page (landing page) without any warning.

This should be documented somewhere.

That's also an issue if you have eg. an own tags directory or other built-in pathes. You can always run hugo --printPathWarnings to get warnings.

Yeah, in hindsight it certainly is quite obvious. However, in my case it came a bit as a surprise - I would have appreciated a short statement/warning in the documentation regarding the search feature :)

I will add that to the docs, but I bet that wouldn't stopped you from running into this in the first place ;-)
