I use php comments that won't print to the end user. That way, I can search them on my own and the user can't see them.

As a side note to the thread about programmers putting funny comments in their source code, do any of you who create HTML-based Help put comments in your pages? Do you worry about your users right-clicking, selecting View Source and seeing your comments?
I routinely include a comment regarding what project is associated with a specific change. I find it easier to search for that project number if I'm researching something.
What do you do?
