Sorry, I want to make sure I understand here; how would saying "Search Again" be the "absolute minimum of confusion"?
My understanding is that it's starting to become accepted practice that users expect "search" to mean:
* a box where the user can type words * a button labeled "Search" * a search results page
I thought the following article gave a good treatment on the subject:

This expectation changes for parameterized searches (e.g. the advanced search page, which I think we both agree belongs on a different page entirely that the words + "Search" button page), but I think that's a different discussion.
