E-mail from James Johnston I am trying to keep up with the feedback ... in response to your questions ... 1) Yes, we will support Boolean operations as you described. 2) One of the questions we are considering is how to prioritize the way hits are returned, e.g. first a phrase, then close proximity, then further, etc. 3) Two things slowed up the content issue. The first is the location at which our site currently resides. We are moving to an Internet location that has much greater "bandwidth" than we currently enjoy. The second is the actual system we are using. At present, our site is operating on a development system. We are in the final phases of testing a much faster, higher capacity computer that will be located at a higher bandwidth site. I expect this to occur by the end of the month. Once there, we can spider substantially more data than we can right now. Hope these answers help. Best, James W.
