I'm not sure about word docs / PDFs. You could be right. Does the searching syntax make a big difference? My users want to type in a word and get results. From the stand-point of your users, how many people actually know the verity syntax for advanced searching? I assume they want to type in a word or phrase and have it work. But, you are correct; the syntax is a bit different; because of the underlying engine. >My observation is that it is unlikely that anyone chooses BD because of >the variances that remove, reduce or alter functionality without >improving the development process.

People choose BD because of the things it does better, or differently. >You may be correct about the features in Blackstone, but that's as much >speculation as I've been doing.
