Ron (and others),
Rather than catching fish for those who ask a question on how to use the
Search facility, why not teach them how to fish. Or, encourage them to
dangle a line and see what happens - experimentation can be very
instructive.

Using the F1 key should be mandatory before anyone even thinks of posing
a question here.

Point them towards the very detailed Help page on searching. Tip: use
the built-in Search facility within Help to find something. Too many
topics returned from a multi-word search term? Put quotes round the words.

I've always found that if you don't know what you're looking for in the
Help, it becomes very unwieldy to find your way around in. A radical
redesign of the Help is needed, along with better integration into the
program.
