A search mechanism is extraordinarily useful for an author for whom it is difficult to manually search a document. In an image editor it is useful to be able to identify parts of an image (pixels, layers, elements, vectors) with particular properties. In a database it is often vital to be able to find a particular entry without having to do a complete manual search - this is one of the challenges in database programming So should the ability to search be a seperate requirement? I remember discussing this, but not including it at any pooint, and I can't find it in any of the old drafts I looked in.

Should we ask a little bit more? Go from header to header or link to link. What about search?
