But how can you search for anything?  I don't want to read the whole thing,
I just want to see the pages that reference what I need to look up.  With
Book Manager, you can do searches.  With Adobe (outside of Internet
Explorerer), you can do searches.  I can't figure out how to search the
manuals on the internet in either the html or pdf formats.
