Well...they talk about a problem related with query title .... but I still don't know what it is used for...

Query Title is new to TP 0982 and up.  What it does is allow you to name your article page so that you don't have to remember an article number.

Where this comes into play is if you are posting a link to the article somewhere else, you can call it by name in the link, instead of number.

Let's take an example:
You create an article called My Favorite Books.
It just happens to be article number 17 (the 17th article you've created in TP).

Normally, a link to it would look something like the following:
http://www.mysite.com/index.php?page=17

Now, if you were putting that link somewhere, or maybe even multiple places, you would have to remember the article was numbered 17 or go back into the article manager and check it everytime you wanted to link it.

However, if you put into Query Title: favbooks
You could now link to that article like so:
http://www.mysite.com/index.php?page=favbooks

As you can see, its much easier to remember a name, than it is a number, hence why we all type: http://www.somesitename.com instead of http://192.168.1.1 for a website.

Another useful tidbit, you can always create a new article and delete the original, if you wanted to replace it for example, and as long as you put the same Query Title name in place, you don't have to go and update all those links to your article!
