Gets my vote - many times I curse in a similar way trying to find the detail of, or the main explanation for, a Tech/New Ability/blah blah, in Civilization, and/or related weapons and technologies. I have increasingly found this the case with GalCiv. As the game expanded over the years its become quite a problem in Civilization - its getting that way now with GalCiv.
A simple key word search ability would meet the need nicely, with the output highlighting the related techs, and/or a colour scheme highlighting the affected/related tech squares.
