Table of Contents
The FAQ will pretty much always be a work in progress, which is certainly a good thing... A new search feature has been added to help people find FAQs they might be more interested in, which became necessary as the amount of content here has become quite significant.

FAQ Search
Use this search feature to search through the FAQ for a particular word or phrase.

Text:

Note: This search feature looks for a match to the search string you enter. It is not case sensitive, nor is at as sophisticated as something like Google... If you search for "Min" it will call it a match if it finds the word "minute" in a given theory... Think about what you're searching for, and use a longer word or something more unique if possible...
