Re docs search in Mathematica 6.0... With Windows, put the cursor into the search field, press Ctrl-a to select the entire "guide/Mathematica", and just type. No deletion actions are needed: this will replace what was there. I imagine there are keystroke equivalents to Ctrl-a for other platforms. Having "guide/Mathematica" in the search field is really a VERY minor annoyance in that it appears only the first time after one opens the Documentation Center. From that point on, searching is no more onerous than in 5.2: in both, once you've opened the help system at a Mathematica session and done the first search, you have your old search term in the field that you must overwrite (or first delete).
