The way around this is to just move the "results" switch to the place
where you call SWISH-E and execute the search. So instead of something
like this:

open(SWISH, "$swish -w \"$query\" -m $results -f $index|");

you would do this:

open(SWISH, "$swish -w \"$query\" -m 0 -f $index|");

(just replace $results with 0). Then you can remove the hidden "results"
field from your form and it will work fine.
