searchable-scrollback regressions?

While upgrading to stretch (urxvt 9.20 => 9.22) I observed a couple of
regressions of the searchable-scrollback that I couldn't explain so far.

When I start a search (M-s):

1) I can't paste text using keyboard anymore:
1.A) I can using the middle-clik if "enable-bracketed-paste=off" (inputrc)
1.B) I can not using shift-insert
2) I can't scroll while search is active. I used to be able to scroll
even if search was active and results highlighted. I can't do that
anymore, shift-page(up|down) have no effect.

I have the feeling these "change of behavior" are both bugs and regressions.

thanks for the report. These are due to a bug fix in 9.21 that changed
urxvt to not process key press events which are consumed by an
extension (searchable-scrollback consumes most key events to avoid
inserting into the search prompt escape sequences generated by cursor
keys, function keys, etc...).

A simple fix would be to add bindings to searchable-scrollback to
paste the current selection and scroll.
