Sean,
Amen on making the guide searchable. I find it useless. A challenge for me is 
solving problems that are beyond the basic level covered in the dictionary. 
Usually I can find help using google searching, though.

Keeping all the help docs up to date is a big task, but vital for growing the 
community.

Best,
Bill
