"No Matches Found!" You're absolutly correct.. that's what *should* happen.<g> The strange thing is... That's not what *does* happen at http://www.modarchive.com/search.shtml "after sunset" is changed to "after%20sunset" (just as expected) Result... no matches.

I searched for "viz". Result... no matches. Then I tried "forceten" Result... Found 2 hits: Displaying 2 most relevant hits. Next I tried "forceten viz" and changed the resulting "forceten%20viz" to "forceten+viz" Result... Found 2 hits: Displaying 2 most relevant hits. IMO, we do not have a problem in Arachne.
