Greetings Andy/all,

It seems this relates to an Undocumented Feature(tm).  Words beginning 
with  'exact:'  or  'hidden:'  are treated differently.  As a side 
effect, it introduces the bug of not splitting words at colons.

Could someone who knows what  exact:  and  hidden:  mean please 
explain what they are for (and/or document them officially)?  I don't 
want to break anything while trying to fix the bug.

On a related note, does anyone have any ideas for the syntax of "field 
restricted" searches?  I was thinking of something like "title:word" 
to search for "word" in the title field, or "heading:word" etc.  Was 
the plan to allow user-defined fields in meta-data to be searched?  
That would be hard!

Cheers,
Lachlan
