Hmm.

I see.

The ability to ignore results that match certain words. 
And the ability to search for a particular phrase.

Nice.

I ask because I am rewriting asearch.
My version, atm, allows you to sort the results by:

Relativity  - sorted by how many occurances of the keyword(s)
Author      - sorted by the creator of the project
Name        - sorted by the name of the project
Size        - sorted by the size of the project
Date        - sorted by date of the project
Platform    - sorted by the platform for the project (Dos, Gen, Lnx, 
Win)
MicroMoney  - sorted by the amount of MicroMoney the project 
Stamped     - sorted by if the project is stamped or not


You can sort Ascending or Descending.

It has the same look as the RDS asearch and runs just as fast (maybe a 
little faster or a little slower.  It is kind of hard to tell).
In my tests, it mostly beats RDS's asearch but it fluncuates.


My website is down atm so I can't put it up for everyone to check out 
but hopefully it will be back up soon.

It functions a bit differently than RDS's asearch.
RDS's searches for whole words if it is under 4 characters.
Mine does not.  Should it?

Here is my thought of the excluding items from search idea..
You would enter 'editor -syntax-' and it will search for "editor" and 
trash any results that have "syntax" in them.
Or..
You enter '"syntax highlighting" -"Text of almost any size can be 
edited"-'

It will search for "syntax hilighting" and exclude any results that 
contain "Text of almost any size can be edited"

No need for the '+' 


Thanks for the response!
I would appreciate any ideas anyone else has to offer.

Maybe RDS will use it as the official Archive search engine ??

Thanks for reading and responding!
