Description (last modified by )
I am missing what "search" means in the current docs of get_template_names:
Returns a list of template names to search for when rendering the template.
If template_name is specified, the default implementation will return a list containing template_name (if it is specified).
What kind of searching does happen here?
I don't understand why a list gets returned and not a single name.

Yes "The first template that is found will be used." is more explicit than "searched". Thank you
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
If I add "The first template that is found will be used." does it help? There are several other places in Django that have similar behavior so it's not really a new concept.
