I was going to send this straight to Stan Mathews, but replies may be useful to others.
Stan, in a recent thread you answered someone's question about Tab Order with a link to the wiki. How did you do that?!?
I gave it a go and would never have found it, so I hope I am missing something.
Searching for "tab order" or "tab + order" give unreal number of hits because it is full text search on character strings, not words. (The page you referenced was the 260th hit.)
Search by title does not do what the instructions say - "•Title searches (the Titles button) give fewer and more manageable results than full-text searches (the Search button)". Instead it must be an exact match of entire title. So it is one hit or nothing. And the Titles button is not really accessable since it is covered by the auto-suggest list.
So it would be very helpful to be able to search either titles or full text by words vs. strings.
Well...
I just tried the Google search, and searching for Tab Order gave the desired page as the first hit!! So is the trick to always use the Google search and disregard the search tip that says - "•The Google Search box at the left can be useful, but Google's index of the site is sometimes out of date." Google is obviously putting the word hits before the string hits.
