While we are complaining about the search string, let me add my pet peeve.... I usually type something and terminate it with a RETURN. In virtually all similar situations the terminator is ignored. In PM it is made part of the search string and usually causes nothing to match. This is caused me a lot of grief several times when I am searching for something that I know is there and doesn't appear.
