Hello,

I am having a hard time understanding how HTDIG handles quoted search 
strings.  My specific question is whether quotes indicate a next-to or 
ordered relationship.  For instance, for my specific boolean query:

#A (usval86 or usval34 or usval150) and "tablespace usage"
Result: Returns pages as expected with the phrase "tablespace usage".

So to further test quote behavior I issued the boolean query:

#B (usval86 or usval34 or usval150) and "usage name tablespace"
Result: No matches.  (Note that each page in #A had the term "name" in it).

So, I decide that the quotes indicate order.  But the following tests 
surprised me.  This ALL query:

#C "Unable Extend Objects to"
Result:  Returned a page with these terms ordered this way:
"Objects Unable to Extend Notes"

However, this query:
#D "Extend to Unable Objects"
Result: No matches.

Am I correct to assume that there are some complicated algorithms behind the 
scenes and there is not a black and white behavior for quotes?  I was unable 
to find any recent documentation.

Note I am using version 3.2.0b3.

Also a big thank you to the developers who created this product. I am sure 
it requires a lot of your time.  We all love it!
