[PATCH 1/3] Documentation/kconfig: more concise and straightforward search explanation

From: Yann E. MORIN
Date: Sat Jul 13 2013 - 14:09:43 EST


From: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@xxxxxxx>

Re-phrase the explanations on the sorting of search results, in a more
concise and complete way.

Drop reference to the user's locale when sorting alphabetically, since
this is implicit.

When searching, symbols are sorted thus:
- - exact match first: an exact match is when the search matches
- the complete symbol name;
- - alphabetical order: when two symbols do not match exactly,
- they are sorted in alphabetical order (in the user's current
- locale).
+ - first, exact matches, sorted alphabetically (an exact match â18:03 -!- - keep a notice in the topic and perhaps as an on-join message).

For example: ^ATH.K matches:

[...] ATH9K_AHB ATH9K_BTCOEX_SUPPORT ATH9K_COMMON [...]
