Albert,
Just a couple nasties<g> we need phrase and proximity searches, and
can't have stopwords messing up the phrases. (Basically, stopwords are
incompatible with phrase search–f'rinstance, the legalese for 'technical term'
is 'term of art.' If 'of' is a stopword, that phrase will never hit)
We could probably survive with "same sentence" and "same paragraph"
searching, but it would mean educating customers who can just about handle
turning on the machine.
The other big deal is _simple_: we're talking lawyers here. A menu
system to choose the database to search, lots of on-screen help etc. Honestly,
I wouldn't mind a PD toolkit, and I'll take it from there.
