 - **Reveal** - Added new `active` state that allows you to show `reveal` programatically
 - **Search** - Cache can now be cleared using `$('.search').search('clear cache')`
 - **Segment** - Added `padded` and `very padded` segment variations
+- **Search** - Search now operates off a unique id generated by result position to retrieve results. For example category #1's first result is 'A1' . Previously result titles were used as their "id", which could cause issues with duplicate titles, or results that do not contain a title.
 - **Sidebar** - Improved animation performance through performance debugging. Sidebar now caches, width, height, rtl direction on load.
 - **Site** - Added in `pageOverflowX` variable, default theme hides horizontal scrollbars on `body`
 - **Tabs* - Added `parseScripts` option, defaults to `once` parsing inline scripts only first load

 - **Sidebar** - Last menu item now has a border when sidebar and menu are used together
 - **Search** - Fixed `onSelect` not returning the correct value when using `type: category`
 - **Search** - Fixed `onSelect` returning the first term that matches the beginining of the selected value not the exact value.
+- **Search** - `searchFields` setting now correctly replaces default fields instead of adding the user fields to defaults
 - **Search** - Search API calls now use the same level debug settings as search
 - **Steps** - Fixes bug where `ordered steps` had smaller numbers in `IE10`
 - **Steps** - Fixed bug where `stackable steps` were not working correctly
