Search returned no results

You need to define query templates for your layers.  Any value will do.
  I like to do something like this:

LAYER
   ...
   TEMPLATE "MapServers developers are a bit sadistic and insist on
hazing new users with this poorly documented control over
query-ability.  How many user hours have been lost to this gotcha?
I'll bet it's many thousands."
   ...
END

cheers,
Sean
