And I would love some sort of regular expression syntax as an option for complicated searches.

I could not agree more with the need for a STRICT BOOLEAN type logic at LEAST as an option in search engines. Make it optional, fine, but make it an option. I can understand public search engines like Google which hope to lure you into diverting, interesting "other" things with click bait to increase revenue, but give some of us an option. What really annoys me is technical websites like IBM, CA (or whoever they are now), BMC, etc whose search engines return an amazing wealth of absurdly unassociated "hits". The most common being asking for zOS only, and getting all sorts of PC, Apple, VMware and other unrelated stuff. I can only assume that those searching for non-zOS have the parallel problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
