It makes absolutely ZERO sense to have a sidebar entry for titles just because you cant be arsed to type quotes or a title: prefix to restrict your searches to titles.

@nqk: yes that's the tradeoff one makes for "modern" styling, lots of wasted whitespace.
So why does it have to be modern and wasteful?
