[Pct] How to request a do-over for a ISA/KR search?

[David Boundy]

I got an unusually bad search report /written opinion from ISA/KR.   If
this were U.S., I'd be inclined to send it back under MPEP 710.06 for a
do-over.  Is there any analogous way to get a "do over" for a bona fide
search from ISA/KR?

Imagine my claims are to a washer-dryer combination, where the claims
recite specific unconventional relationships/interactions between the
washer and the dryer.

Imagine that two of the three X references are washers alone.  Not a dryer
even mentioned.

The third X and the two Y's are washer-dryers, but with the conventional
old-as-the-hills arrangement.  Even in this group, the Written Opinion has
not a word about the point of novelty.  The Written Opinion discusses
near-misses to the point of novelty, but they're just "could easily be
derived."  And the Written Opinion has not a word about the nail, let alone
a hit on the head.

The only thing I know to do is a Chapter II Demand with an Article 34
letter (so far, I don't see any need for any claim amendment).  But that
doesn't seem to be the most efficient path to an endpoint.  Any other ideas?

Thanks
