Don't you see searching for preferences as an astounding failure on Apple's
part (and others, who have done searching for preferences before)? I started
using Windows XP on a machine recently, to make sure I was keeping track of
current developments on that platform [1], and even after a few years off
the platform, I found it very hard to find what I was looking for. So, you
make me wonder what it would have been like if I had searched for all of
these preferences... Often enough, I didn't know what I was looking for
before I started. How do you find the answer if you don't know the question?
