I was using gaze search when needing to find something, but found it
took too long (I know there is a new faster version), so I get the
grimoire in html form, and search using the browser, and manually for
things. If I don't find an easy answer there, where I can go "gaze
what" with the name, then gaze search it is.

I really find gaze search useful, but have found that it is too slow
for casual queries, so use it as a last resort, that happily usually
succeeds.

Hope this is the feed back you are looking for,

rohan
