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!

in haste
