I could be wrong, Matt, but I think Cheri was asking for a change in the

functionality of the Macromedia TechNote search engine, rather than

refinement of the existing "meta" keywords.  Would the effort be prohibitive

to set your search engine to search the entire text of each TechNote, rather

than just these preselected terms?  The free "PicoSearch" search engine does

this, so I'm thinking it wouldn't be that big of a deal, but I could be

wrong!


I second Cheri's motion; let us choose our own search terms by enabling the

search engine to search the entire TechNote text.  You folks can't be

expected to predict all of the search terms users will find useful in

solving our various software issues.
