I would recommend moving the background about George to the bottom (and correctly placing him in England). You should also explain that "AND" in this instance means "both" or "all words", while "OR" means "either" or "any word". This is contrary to normal English usage, for example She likes sushi *and* ice cream (but not at the same time) I'll take a blue one or a green one (but not both blue and green) So you do have to go into some detail on Boolean operators! For advanced users, they will want to know about nesting parentheses and order of execution (left to right, I assume). It's also a really good idea to make examples that work properly for your data, for example Nidana AND Sutta will find only pages that contain both words Nidana OR Sutta will find all pages that contain either word (including those on the Gotamaka Sutta) Nidana NOT Sutta will find only pages with the first word and not the second (nidana OR gotamaka) AND sutta will find only those pages with either of the first two words that also contain the last word (please note that I have no clue what Nidana and Sutta mean, and whether anyone would ever search for them, it's just an example taken from text on your site) I must say that I think ht://Dig should do something more useful for Boolean queries without an operator than just display an error, but that's my personal pro-user bias. I think it's a very good thing that you're trying to write good instructions, and also a good thing that ht://Dig's default is the popup menu for "All"!
