Excuse me?  Why should a reader have to fix someone else's inconvenient
design?  

If someone hadn't limited readers to _having_ to click on each link 
individually, readers wouldn't need more that than restricted inch.  

(Why am I frustrated?  Because first JServ doesn't seem to build here,
then
the FAQ takes 5 or 10 times the effort that it should (comparing mouse
positioning and clicking vs. simply scrolling down) because someone
forgot
about and took away basic functionality (easy access to the data) when
they
added fancier functionality (e.g., scanning just the questions), and
after 
all that you tell me that I should fix someone else's
myopically-designed
page-generation code.)

Why make it inconvenient for potential users to read the FAQ document?

That search returns results from other documents too, and doesn't show
the
context of the matched text (so the reader can see quickly whether it's
relevant).

Additionally, that still doesn't let me browse the whole FAQ list.

Anyone else, by chance?
