I hope not; some of gargles false hits have been absolutely ludicrous. When it 
comes to search engines, I prefer Do What I Said, Not What You Incorrectly 
Guessed I Meant. If you documentthat + means the term must be present and I 
type a plus sign, then yes, I mean that the term must be present. If I put a 
phrase in quotes, then I *DON'T* want the hits on the individual words.

Maybe someday everything will be like Google, so I can type DNS= (which
I do often enough) and the system will ask me "Did you mean DSN?"

Just today I typed "sstar trek insurrection" into Google and I didn't
bother to fix the double ss or worry if I spelled that big word
correctly, because I knew Google would fix it for me.
