Search Engine #3

Many search engines provide some reasonably sophisticated options to make a better search. Hopefully answering these questions will lead you to looking at some of the possibilities. Unless otherwise specified, I want an explanation and I want you to test the feature in the search engine. In explaining or giving and example, do not use the examples or the explanations that appear at the site - I want things in your own words with your own examples! When explaining the results that you got, I want to know whether they make sense given your search - whether the search element you used worked as advertised!
