Maybe there's a way around it by positioning either of them higher or
lower.

Just to clarify, I was using the internal Google search that's
available at the top of the pages. I got 10 results total no matter
what I searched for, and I purposely searched for terms that give
more than ten results. I didn't see any way to get to further
results, and the page did not say 10 of 20 (or any other number). Are
you able to access more than 10 results when doing a search with that
theme?

I think so. I've seen some mentions of Konqueror not displaying the
wiki properly, and I guess that hasn't been fixed yet. In Konqueror,
you get no buttons to interact with the page even with the default
theme, so Konqueror isn't a good test for this. (:

It didn't pass until I changed the theme back to the default. I
suspect it has something to do with choosing "After login, jump to
last visited page" on this page:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UserPreferences

I have that enabled.

That makes sense.
