Also note that if what you are searching on includes punctuation you can often get away with breaking the entry there.
For instance, in windows programming there are a great many 'words' of the form XX_COMBINEDWORDS, and often the same COMBINEDWORDS will appear to the right of many different XX_ tags. You can then make dictionary entries for just the COMBINEDWORDS (leaving off the leading tag) and jaws will correctly use the replacement for the trailing portion regardless of the leading tag.
