Description:
Couple of trivial errors in the function index lists

IN 	Check whether a value is not within a set of values 

FIND_IN_SET() 	Return the number of times the first argument is found in the second arguments

How to repeat:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/comparison-operators.html

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/string-functions.html

Suggested fix:
IN should be "Check whether a value is within a set of values"

FIND_IN_SET should be something like "Return the index (position) of the first argument within the second argument"
