[drupal-docs] Top 20 searches for documentation

[Matt Simpson]

After decoding the drupal maze of information for a month, I've just
installed my first Drupal web site.  There were many times when I would go
through this pattern....
1) Want to figure out how to do something.
2) Look for the documentation on it...
3) Get lost
4) Decide that maybe it would be good to ask for help
5) Go to the forums
6) Remember that I'm supposed to perform a search first
7) Perform the search
8) Get lost again
9) Give up or get distracted and go off looking for something else

I think it would be best to capture scenarios where someone is a newbie, and
they want to do something (e.g. install image capability) but get lost in
the documentation.

Best regards (and hello),

Matt
