Bob,

Either I misunderstood the discussion at DISD (always a strong
contender) or we're talking about two different things. My recollection
was that folks were saying that, when using the full search (I
specifically asked if this was the case), there were words that would
not be found (even though they existed in the text).

What you are talking about in relation to select_toggling is that it
does not have it's own topic and therefore is not indexed. This may be
an oversight in the current system. It's not marked in the meta data as
private, but it is marked as no doc, which is why it's in it's current
state - we're looking into that.

So, in light of this information, is there really a problem with the
full text search, or were we really talking about things that simply are
not documented? If the former, examples please. If the latter, just
report them as you find them and we'll respond that it either won't be
documented (because it is private) or it will be (and we'll fix it).

Best regards,

-SWM-

Select_Toggling was intended to be an example of a method that is not
indexed under class methods. It can be found under the search but if you
did not know it exists you would never find it in the class help.
