Yeah I really miss those days of logical operands. Back in the Alta Vista days I could do Boolean searches, but yeah that's been replaced with speech recognition which doesn't work as well. To this day I still like the Boolean search better. Newer does not always mean better. Most of the time it only means dumbed down to the lowest common denominator.
