Re: search library battle royale

Hi Jeff,

I don't understand a lot of what's been said about evaluating these 
search engines, but I'll comment anyway.

Since, for me at least, easy to use but full-featured search software 
is a vital part of any archive, the ideal search engine should be 
powerful, yet intuitive to operate, or come with good instructions. A 
tutorial would be helpful.

I'd like to be able to search the results of an earlier search.
