@annahavron I’ll chime in here that, as @pcora mentioned, it can be quite useful for very particular queries. I’m getting pretty good results on configuration file settings for open source software—great to avoid multipage, scroll and scan, just to find kinda what you were looking for—but also for anything that requires more than one typical search pass to locate.

You can say, please give me this complex set of intersecting subsets, emphasize this, exclude that, in that format most familiar, a string of words. Or you can boolean your ascii around in circles, hitch up a thesaurus, and a git to a’googlin’!
