OK, I'm guessing that you typed the <10 and the >10 right next to each
other rather than as separate "words," ya?  My parser doesn't expect
the < and the > to occur in the same word.  I'll need to fix that
before you can put them so close together.  If you type

   <10 >10

(note the space character between the "0" and the ">") then what
happens?

I'm gonna add a "re-sort by" thingy that'll allow the results to be
displayed by chronology or by relevance.

I can't give you a speedy reply during the day, but now that I've got
a laptop I'm writing this while I'm on the bus home from work.  (I'll
upload the message when I get home.  :-)
