Andy,

I dont disagree.  If all documents are tagged with keywords and the search
string can indicate a keyword search then theoretically every properly
encoded document can be distinctly found with a search string. So then
finder forms and advanced search forms can be called prompted search forms.
Just the prompts are customized for what is being searched for. A lot less
coding for the guys in Bombay.

The finder finder finder is then another prompted search form. All finder
forms are "form documents" with the keyword "finder" in the title. The
finder finder prompted search form would prompt for "the finder to find" and
build a seach string that will find the distinct finder "form document" and
launch it.
