 Yes, it's suitable vague :-). Linking to the MS docs is a good idea.

 In particular, I think the search order corresponds to the program you'd
 run if you call `createProcess` using the direct method rather than using
 a shell intermediary. That fact is probably worth mentioning, and that it
 can be different to what you get if you go via a shell because the dir of
 the current process is different.
