My 2 cents, the common phrase in all of these is the actual error text
'Unable to compile class'. If you search on this, it gives you the right
hits. I've found this to be very effective in troubleshooting when
searching archives.

would have found this -- but you are right, finding the right search
phrase is more difficult than one might think.
