I hope the next version of your website uses more standard search techniques. Boolean operators would be nice, but at the least, a space delimited search should search for every word, not the whole string, and a quoted string should search for the whole string. I never knew multi-word searches could be done here, however, so I'm glad you posted this hint.

Boolean fulltext search is not available in MySQL 3.x, which this site is running. It is available in MySQL 4, but from what I've heard that release isn't quite ready for prime-time.
