I have, and this is great. The good thing about a user-based help history is that it lets you store erroneous search paths. There is no place for search errors inside the standard documentation, even by using fuzzy matching of synonyms. I found out that, not being able to find the correct answer is often a matter of putting the query in the wrong words, and chances are very little that these wrong words are synonyms of the a relevant query. -- Bastien
