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.

I'm REALLY not meaning to be a knucklhead here, but if I click on HELP in
Mathematica then click on HELP BROWSER, I get a "text box" where I can type
in a term to do a search on.

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
