Our product is made up of multiple application. Each application is
named using a common prefix and an abbreviation indicating the purpose
of that application. One of these applications is a security
application, and it is therefore named "ProdSec" (well, not exactly).
I now know just how close the "C" and "X" keys are on the standard
keyboard. I now do a global search on that certain term.
Luckily, the doc has never gone out with that particular mistake,
although there have been a couple of close calls.
