I asked a similar question and this response would not suffice. When
using the advanced search too many hits were recorded in a seemingly
random date order most of which did not even pertain to the items sought.
For example I tried using quotes to at least limit my searches to FC 3
using "Fedora Core 3" or even backing off to "Core 3", nonetheless the
first items listed were Fedora Core 1 items. The AND logic seemed to
partially work, but I had to bother people on the mail list to have my
question answered.
In my case, when I find what I need on a search, it is more likely to
stick than relying too heavily on others to do my work.
Not meant to be nasty, more of an observation - since I have seen many
referred to the archives when asking questions previously covered.
