Re: Possible bug: Can not search for text in links - only description

hi ken,

that's right, my point was that perhaps it is relevant, not that one
would set the variable.

for example, perhaps there is a way that timestamps can have an
invisible property and thus be subject to this variable.

of course, it might not be possible, if timestamps do not use
overlays, but it might inspire a more general fix.
