Default Search AND's all the words. "all good men" would search on "good men". "all" is a noise word. Also, if you use Advanced Search, you can select ANDing or ORing of the words.

All Windoze computers have a noise word list. The one we use is noise.eng. On XP systems, it's in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32. Ours has only a few words added to the default list.

I hope to gain visibility into the catalog one of these days so I can see what other words need to be added.

Once that's done, I'll hopefully have much smaller catalogs. Small enough to make it possible to recombine the catalogs into one again so that date ranges can be used. And, of course, paging through the results.
