Search questions...is it possible to search for exact phrases, such as "this is a test"?

I'm pretty sure it'll only return messages containing the word "test", since the rest are noise words.

I think it also filters out "this"


Using another search string "all good men"

Seems "all" is not a nose word.
Not sure if an OR or an AND is done,
but I'll guess its the OR if any posts in the results list only have "good" or "men" in them.





Looks like it found "all good men" in poster's profile signature, even if not displayed.



Imagine if GULP.EXE was incorporated into the search code,
one could have a search capability of magnitudes greater than anything out there.
But oops, the window closed on the $1 to buy the sources since Matt, Bob & Dave
no longer own SI & IH. Good thing since that would have sadden me since I always,
plus a day, expected SI & IH to remain in Matt's & Bob's control even if IPO as
they hold controlling stocks percentage.

o well
