FAQ's tend to give more succinct info and are more likely to be read! (IMO)

Then why not have a searchable FAQ with keywords. e.g.

Q: Problems starting SchoolTool on Ubuntu or Debian
Keywords: Virtual;Hosting;Apache;
A: Really cool answer...

I do this for a club website that I run and I have a small app to help me
write the FAQ. It has the ability to set up similie lists. If one of the
similie words is in the Q or A, the others are added to the Keywords.

e.g. if the Q holds "W&W" (W&W is a shorthand for the club name) Then
"Wind and wheels;windandwheels;wind & wheels; wind&wheels;club;"
is added to the keywords list.

It's very crude as I spend little time on the site; it has a PHP page to
search / display and the FAQ held in another [flat] file. * shows every FAQ!

Just a thought....
