Awesome! :) When did this start working? I swear, it didn't use to do
this...
And exclusion works, too. Put "-cypress" to ignore all those expensive
parts. This is Most Cool.
Too bad this doesn't actually answer Dave!'s question. Searching for
"+cypress +tree" is _not_ the same as searching for the phrase "cypress
tree". But it's still really, really great. :)
