Search limitations --

The main limitation is that the database only indexes words 3 letters or longer. Unfortunately, the database ignores the words 'saw', 'try' and 'trying'.
One special exception exists for Stanley plane numbers. The database does have an index of plane numbers of the form /#[0-9]{1,3}((-| )((1\/2)|C))?/ (for those of you who speak 'egrep'), so you can enter something like '#164', "#6C", or '#5 1/2' and get useful search results.
The query is sensitive to spelling, so if you're not sure, include both spellings (Nielsen Neilsen, Donelly Donnelly, etc.).
Dashes and many other symbols look like spaces to the database, so the term 'V-logo' comes out as 'V' (which is too short to be indexed) and 'logo'.
Case doesn't matter.
