>Description:
People looking for information regarding ZFS support in FreeBSD are very likely to start by opening the handbook table of contents in their web browser, initiate their browser search function and search for "ZFS". This will result in 0 matches and the user will be left confused, thinking the handbook has no articles on the subject.

Proposal: edit the following files:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/filesystems-zfs.html

and change any instances of "The Z File System" (a name which has no basis on reality) to "ZFS - Zettabyte File System". This will make the term searchable using web browser (or any other viewer) search functions allowing easier access for the user. Additionally this would decipher the ZFS acronym in a proper way with actual basis on the origin of the name.
>How-To-Repeat:
Open the Handbook table of contents at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook and use your web browser's search function to search for "ZFS".
