Constructor fails politely (warns and returns undef) if the registry

search fails, whereas previously it would throw an exception which,

is
	//lucasportal.info/blogs/payday-usa">'</a>night:G<a href="http://lucasportal.info/blogs/payday-usa">'</a>night/Illepeliz
(sic) which yields BIB-1 diagnostic 108 "Malformed query" on
irspy.indexdata.com but NOT on my development box, for reason that I
do not yet understand.
