So, you may miss hits when people search, due to confusing strings, that was my point.

Oh. It sounded like your point was that it was in the wrong section, not that there was an error with our sections.

Truth be told, you make a valid point, but there is no "perfect" setup, and while I think it is a big as we can get it, you do highlight one downside of the setup.
