If you set STORAGE_PATH=foo rather than STORAGE_PATH=/foo, Docker Registry fails silently to search the path and generate the search index. This is extremely hard to troubleshoot. Its fine if we want to error out and force the user to add a /, but the current behavior is a bit broken because the rest of the registry works ... just the search index fails.
