Words joined by a hyphen(s) can have various meanings Well, sure. I think the meta-point is that we want to define things so that individual servers can make their own decisions on such matters. Which means we need to be able to submit multi-word search-terms (such as "multi-word" and "search-terms") instead of sidestepping the problem and saying that must be built out of booleans. And that's why Alan needs to be able to tell servers the different between a query for books called "search-terms" and one for books whose titles contains the word (or words) "search-terms". > Type 2: Search type. Just 11 values defined in this -- the > search types numbered 1 to 11 above. Aha-haha! That's very cute :-) Unfortunately, this approach can't work for the Bath profile, whose job is very much to codify and add rigour to existing practice. Interestingly pragmatic approach, though. _/|_ _______________________________________________________________ /o ) \/ Mike Taylor <mike@indexdata.com> http://www.miketaylor.org.uk )_v__/\ "Schmeichel is beaten for the first time today." -- Andy Gray, 17th December 1995, after Robbie Fowler's second goal made the score 2-0. -- Listen to my wife's new CD of kids' music, _Child's Play_, at http://www.pipedreaming.org.uk/childsplay/
