Okay, must have been short term memory and subconscious conditioning that 
blocked that 'Help' link from my experience.

But Mike...  I wonder why when you're doing a regular search for some term, 
frequently the results don't return hits for 2002, or frequently only a few 
and not all.

For example, I just noticed that Hotmail truncates Raymond's tag lines.  So 
wondering how they were supposed to be formatted, I did a normal seach 
(non-boolean) for "Raybot" for "All years", and "No limit" for the number of 
matches.  If I do a search of the resulting list for "2002", I only come up 
with 5 matches.  But if I select "2002" for the year to be searched, the 
resulting list is huge, as it should be.

Any idea why this is?

Matt
