I purposefully left a bit of a cliffhanger there. Our web command search using what we call a FindString. A FindString uses: elements inner text, tagname, ID if it has one, classname if it has one and document title(s) – multiple if the element is within a framed site. Any combination of items can be removed from a find string, and each portion supports wildcards as well. Of course, there can be more than one element with all of the combinations being the same – a link that says Download on a page with multiple Download links. But also the nesting of elements matters. A Table element for example, its innertext contains all of the text within the table, any subsequent tables contained within cells inside the table and on and on.  This is why the concept of moving down the list from the last place is so key. You can re-search using the exact same FindString and get the next thing that matchs. Or you can search for something different from the last point to drill further into something.
