I removed all colon prefixes, so it is a bug if any header argument is prefixed with a colon. > So searching is not consistent any more. Of course, it is. Now, you can search by topic. E.g., `eval' header argument belongs to "Limit Code block evaluation", which is a sub-topic of "Evaluation Code Blocks". This was clearly not possible before, because unrelated arguments were located in the same section. You can also search the index alphabetically. > I was able to do this earlier.. open Org Info manual, C-s :eval, keep on > C-s as it found *all hits* in the manual.

I'd rather improve the index than make it easier to use C-s. > Can we prefix all the header arg references in the manual with ":" so > that while searching, I can easily find the (org) Evaluating Code > Blocks node? This is a false good idea, because many index entries would have the same prefix. Besides, many syntactic elements start with colons: properties, tags, drawers. OTOH, you can search for "header argument" in the main index, as you experienced. It is much more efficient. > I was having trouble finding this node as "eval" is too generic of a string.. > thankfully I remembered the "never-export" value, searched for that and > found that node.
