The search on rebol.com is pretty basic and could do with some work as both 
you and Bo suggest.

REBOL _is_ good at website searches, as the tool built by Gregg and Volker 
from some initial code from Carl on REBOL.ORG shows.

Try these searches at REBOL.org (type into the "Find scripts" box)

;; any script with the word "parse" anywhere:
parse

;; any script with "parse" in its title:
parse in title

;; find small scripts:
size <= 1000        

;; find very recent scripts:
date > 01-oct-2003  

It can't do boolean combinations of search parameters yet, so you can't find 
all of Gregg's recent additions...
date > 01-sep-2003 and gregg in author      ;; doesn't work

....but it should give you some idea of what is possible in REBOL for 
building a website search function. Online help page with more examples at:
