Hello, what you can do is: get a local copy of all manuals and then there is a small program available called docsearcher (is written in java, so it should run on all platforms) http://sourceforge.net/projects/docsearcher/ I don't use it on the manuals, because after some time you know which one could contain a solution for your problem. But it is nice when you have a lot of literature in pdf format. It is also also a nice solution to use googles advanced search options, where you can limit the search on a specified location.

Hi (bis)
I'd like to share my newbie experience about tables.
With iPages, the ''fabulous, marvelous, amazing, simple" word processor from apple, It took me more or less half an hour to design and fill a table, with fixed width colored cells and so on. Unfortunately, once I saved the document, iPages could no longer open it anymore... :-( I then spent a pair of pair of hours (minus half an hour) to try to repair things... with no success.
With ConTeXt, I spent a pair of pair of hours (minus half an hour) trying to design my table, and less than half an hour to fill it. Now the work is complete. :-)
But I am not really satisfied, I feel frustrated because I have the impression that it took me too much time. It appears that neither texshow nor garden did help me. So I digged into standard Google, and it pointed me to the context mailing list archive, finally pointing me to the name of the right manual at pragma ADE. Fortunately, this up-to-date manual was online .
Once, my work was complete, I understood that the Google search on context garden wiki was limited to context garden... I then found that some information I was missing about tables was on the context garden tabulate page...:-/ But I have the impression that the manuals do contain much more than available on contextgarden.
So, is it possible to have the Google search engine at context garden also look into the manuals?
Moreover, how do you formulate a request in standard google? Adding the "ConTeXt" key word does not lead to accurate results.
