Yes, it does.  The most relevant matches are listed first -- for each
part, the keywords that matched are listed in red.

E.G.  Brick 1 x 4 with side studs as used in a space airlock door MOC
recently.  I tried a search using the keywords 'brick side studs' (no
quotes).

I don't think that part is in Partsref yet.

Unfortunately the search engine brings back *everything* with brick OR side
OR studs in it, and not in any particular order!

When I did this search, the first part listed was the only part that
matched all three searchwords.  Then there were a number of items that
matched two searchwords, and finally items that matched a single
searchword.

Can this be fixed, and soon?  This is making me sick of paging through
results 20 by 20 all the time!  It would be nice for me to know if I could
use capitalized operation keywords like "AND" or "OR" or even "NOT" - I
don't know though if this is possible with the lugnet search function?  Or
perhaps default to or, with a + sign next to a word meaning INCLUDE matches
with this word, - sign meaning EXCLUDE matches with this word.

AND and OR are not supported, but +, -, and * are.  See page

(...) Also, the "help" page has no left margin space, making it somewhat hard to read. Thanks, Franklin (22 years ago, 4-Jul-02, to lugnet.admin.general)
