Can any kind of `regexp' or `boolean' formula be used at the nnir prompt. The comments in nnir.el, say a 'string' is expected. But that word always confuses me. It gets used to mean just about anything. It seems any attempt to use a regexp or boolean operator like: cake\|cookies or cake;cookies (both are supported by "glimpse", the second one meaning `and' instead of `or') results in a lenghty stall that never completes. Is this just on my setup? Are others able to use regular expressions? Can any command flags be passed to `glimpse' from the `G G' command prompt? What problems are encountered trying to impliment the use of the `glimpse' -F flag? (can be used to restrict the search) -- Harry Putnam reader@newsguy.com
