Yup, the search capability of an information is not the best. However, another good thing about the information center is that is is searchable by Google (everyone's trusted and loved search engine...)

It seems as though the items are organized randomly, though. They are not in book by table of contents order, which is often helpful. I prefer the book by table of contents order. The current search does not work for me. Mousing over each or clicking on entry is clunky and slow. It makes it more difficult to skip over the rest of the book if you decide that it does not answer your question.
