Partsref now has text search!  You can now search for any word(s) in a part's
title, filename, keywords or category.  Parts are listed by relevance, showing
which words matched (since keywords and category are not shown in the results).

See it at <http://www.lugnet.com/cad/ldraw/parts/ref/>.

Many, many thanks to Todd Lehman for creating the nifty search engine!

Special Functions:
* - wildcard.  Matches any characters.
    Searching for 3039 returns 1 hit.
    Searching for 3039* returns 9 hits.

+ - requires the following word to match.
    Searching for '2x4 brick' returns 272 hits.
    Searchnig for '+2x4 +brick' returns 12 hits.

- - eliminates the word from the search.
    Searching for '2x4 brick' returns 272 hits.
    Searching for '2x4 -brick' returns 12 hits.

If you don't like frames, you can hit the search directly by keying the URL:

<http://www.lugnet.com/cad/ldraw/parts/ref/search.cgi?q=term1+term2>

Type your terms before hitting Enter.  In this UI, * and - are unchanged, but +
is keyed as %2B.
