: Does the Netlib repository search tool search full-text? If so, does
: it support nested Boolean strings?

OM,
yes and yes. to do a global search of the full
text use "for=query" where query is the word(s)
you want to search for in the full text (it's a
global field). You can use boolean operators to
string together the elements of your query.

see http://www.netlib.org/utk/misc/freeWAIS-sf-syntax.html
for a full description of the wais query syntax.
