OK .. looked right past sub-entry portion of that tag!

Since windows version is only platform that has search-able index, that 
is done as a post process of the information that I pull from the wiki 
and pass on to Chris. I /was/ asked to do this on my end, and at the 
time I declined. Since then we've had a number of users point out some 
problems with the results. Given his (Chris) workload I doubt it will be 
addressed any time soon. Perhaps I /should/ re-think my position. LOL 
... I /may/ be the best chance of making that happen. Here's what I'm 
going to do in the short term ... I'll add (don't want to replace 
current entries) pass_through as a non sub-entry type tag
