When i look up
1 1 2 3 5 9 16 28 49 86 151 264
I get A097757
Many of the queried numbers do not match sequence elements, but rather numbers
that appear in the example text, which is a table of numbers. I would think
that if a user queries a list of numbers, they are expecting a match within the
sequence proper, not in the comments, formulae, examples, etc.
Also, when visually scanning a sequence output, my mind tends to ignore the
sequence name, because it is in the purple header bar (to my embarrassment in a
recent post). Maybe just the sequence number should be in the bar, and the name
moved down below the offset with the rest of the textual data.
Me: you just have to get used to the new search!
read the advanced lookup page!
