The point is that I had to check if there even was a search help before asking you to add the new feature to it. I had never read it before, or even considered reading it. Of course "people who don't read the search help don't deserve to be able to find their waypoints" is a valid opinion, but I don't agree with it. There is no way of knowing that searching for * will find waypoints without reading the help, while assuming that searching "waypoints" will find your waypoints is a reasonable assumption. Adding this will let more people find their waypoints and the items on them, and there's no reason not to add it.
Another search thing that annoys me a little: you cant search for portals. This is usually not a problem because you have to immediately take or leave most portals, but in my last two games I found myself searching for "trove", and the trove portal was not found. I had to look up where it is in ^O, then travel to the level and manually look for it. Search finds branch entrances and permanent portals, so it finding single use portals is expected behavior.
