You probably had a symbol x defined outside of the pipe command.

$ x:=exit
$ pipe x="'" + "'" | search x.com &x
$ exit

A working pipe command is:
$ pipe x="'" + "'" ; search x.com &x

And that sets/overwrites the symbol x, which can be avoided:
$ x:=exit
$ pipe ( x="'" + "'" ; search x.com &x )
$ write sys$output "Page size: ''ps'"
