The Wiki's search system seems to leave a lot to be desired.  I don't often 
use the search system in the wiki, I tend to either 'google' it, or if I 
know what I'm looking for, I generally navigate manually to the page in the 
wiki.  However, this assumes you've spent a good bit of time working with 
the wiki at www.voip-info.org and know what you are looking for and how 
it's going to be titled.

A few days ago I was looking for some info from the asterisk-addon cdr_odbc 
and I entered 'Asterisk cdr mysql".  Well the search engine found the page 
I was looking for, and it was titled "Astersk cdr mysql", and yet, even 
though it was a perfect match, it was around #5 in the results.

*shrug*

references to pages of the voip-info.org wiki from google is your friend.....

There are also quite a few friends you can buy on asterisk-biz list, if you 
are so inclined.
