It just doesn't seem very clear to me. And one of our customers even got
the wrong impression about the search order. I think a sentence like the

networked tables such as NIS, LDAP or SQL, patterns are tried
in the order as listed below:"
That really does what it says: try the first query. Try the second

Thank you!
The documentation seems a bit ambiguous on this topic. After reading
