The answer to this uses Mateusz Czaplinsky's $SearchQuery:

http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/SearchQueryVariable

giving:

(:searchbox :)
(:if equal "{$SearchQuery}" "" :)
(:pagelist fmt=Services.Searcher#tabler3 group=Services 
name=????-??-??-* count=999 order=$:Sname :)
(:else:)
(:searchresults fmt=Services.Searcher#tabler3 group=Services 
name=????-??-??-* count=999 order=$:Sname :)
(:ifend:)

Cheers

Steve
