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.

It can be good. With this, we will perhaps be able to "stabilize" some parts of the protocol to start programmation of clients/hubs.
