I have a word document that is several pages long with complex search 
strategies for the Libronix/Logos engine.  I will e-mail it to anybody who 
would like to see it.  I think anybody would be suprised by it bite!

The following is some of page 1 out of 4 pages:
·                        exact( )
     This term and the others will have only limited functionality in LLS 
books. (You need a newly indexed resource for marks() and regexp() to work, 
for example.)

·                        topic( )
     Matches documents where the term is listed as a topic.
 Ex.:    topic(death) and heaven

·                        prefix( )
     Matches anything that begins with the term given. (Equivalent to a 
trailing "*" wildcard or "(.*)" regular expression.)

·                        wildcard( )
     Matches anything that the term fits as a wildcard pattern. Interprets 
"?" and "*" as wildcards - any one character and any-zero-n-characters, 
respectively.  An asterisk (*) and question mark(s) also work as a 
short-cuts as a prefix or suffix.

·                        regexp( )
     Matches anything that the terms fits as a regular expression.

·                        nostem( )
     Matches the term without using a stemming algorithm. The default is to 
use a stemming algorithm if available/supported by the index.

·                        stem( )
     Matches the term using a stemming algorithm. This is the default.

·                        case( )
     Matches the term using case sensitivity. The default is to ignore case 
when matching terms.

·                        marks( )
     Matches the term remaining sensitive to marks. (Accents, etc.) The 
default is to ignore marks when matching terms.

·                        exact( )
     Equivalent to "nostem(case(marks(term)))".
