Steven, The text search box will only recognize names that have been entered into the Master Index, either by WRI or by users. So it is like an index of a book. If a phrase is not in the index, you can't find it even though it is in the book.

What do you all (more experienced users) mean, remembering I am a novice user, by "it would be nice if help were searchable"? Thanks in advance, Steven Shippee
