This caught me a few times when I was new to the Monastery. It still does, occassionaly.

The other day I was searching for Mail::Mailer and was autodirected to a post with that title. Before I would have assumed it was the only post on the subject, and that's why I was sent there. Now I know better. So, I changed the search to Mailer, and had to wade through some other unrelated stuff. There have been times when I'd search for a function and wind up on someone's home node! So I was thinking, if I could simply search for Mail::Mailer and be autodirected, then I wouldn't have to do the second search. Whatcha think?

Cheers!

Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats.
