While we're at it: you should definitely use 
django.core.urlresolvers.reverse (same thing as the {% url %} templatetag) 
to reverse-build your urls, instead of hard-coding them (well, unless you 
really enjoy having to grep thru your whole codebase when your url scheme 
changes). As a matter of fact, you wouldn't have had to edit this part if 
you had used reverse() instead, just adding the final slash in the url 
pattern would have been enough.

Note that you may want to make the slash conditional, ie:

   r'^search/?$'

so it will match both "/search" and "/search/"
