Getting into the Guide

As I get further into the guide, I'm finding some things I'd like to see improved. Here, in no particular order, are some of them:

A quick and easy way to bookmark an entry for easy reference. Like for instance, A690518 would be handy for me to add to a list on my personal space for quick reference. I'm thinking it should work something like the "My Conversations" window.

A faster search engine. Simply put, if Google can do it, so can the BBC I'd imagine. Why does it take so long to look through the Guide?

That's about all I can think of for now. Now, I have to go refinish my dresser. oh boy.

Thanks.
I learned how to put links into my entries etc.
What I think would be nice is if there were a quick and easy way to mark a page as particularly useful.
For instance, a button on every page that says "bookmark" or something and when you click it, it gets stored in your settings so that when you click a link on the left of the page that says "My bookmarks" you get a list of pages you particularly like or use a lot...

Maybe I should post this in a suggestions forum? Is there such a thing (or a shortcut) though?

Thanks!
