Searching the library

As I self confessed computer geek, I have to mention something that has been
driving me insane in almost every book.  It happens when anyone in the books
spends hours pulling down volumes and searching through them by hand.  I
can't help but think that Hogwart's could be improved by an online search
engine.  I know computers and such do not work there, but there has got to
be a magic parchment that knows the library like the MM knows the grounds of
Hogwart's.

Just think about the second task -- he could have easily searched for
occurrences of the word WATER, along with BREATHE, etc.  I bet he would have
found gillyweed in no time.

Just a little pet peeve o' the wizarding world.  Madame Pomfrey should look
into it.  It would make Hermione QUITE happy I am sure.
