Hi all,

The new search engine doesn't have useful online help, so here's how
to do 3 things in Boolean searches:

   1) near

      put the word "near" in "<" ">"... as in:

           subsystem <near> dump

      You can control how near <near> is:

           subsystem <near/3> dump

      (note: due to quantum variations in the KDB, your results searching
      for the above two items may vary from mine ... I found several
      yesterday, but none today!)

      BTW, I don't know what the number means yet...is it number of words?
      Sentences?  Lines?  Nor do I know how to say "I want "dump" to
      occur *after* "subsystem" and not before it"!

   2) not

      Unlike some search engines, it appears that you say "not"
      instead of "and not".

      E.g., subsystem not dump


   3) partial words

      You can use a "*" as a word completer:

            subsys*
