Actually, I had intended every logical part of the search string to be
a seperate token in the line sent over the protocol that I
quick-drafted earlier. If you look in the archives for the `Text
protocol draft' draft that I sent Dec 2nd, you'll see what I
mean. It's also included in my upcoming protocol draft, which is more
complete than that mail.
