Greetings Chris,

It is certainly possible to specify "A not B" or "A - B" in a boolean 
search, although I don't know how to do it in a "simple" search.  If 
your users don't want to use boolean searches, one option would be to 
write a wrapper script to create a boolean query from their initial 
query; insert "and" between every pair of words unless either of them 
is "not" or "-".  If you write a wrapper, you could send it to us to 
put in the "contrib" directory.

Cheers,
Lachlan
