   Searching for "not" is too tiresome when search stops at every cross
   reference.

A search for `not' is going to stop at many places.  Searching should
be predictable.  Please do not start adding tons of exceptions and
"exceptions to exceptions" to searching by trying to double guess the
user.

A case-insensitive non-word search for `not' _should_ match `*Note'.

Sincerely,

Luc.
