You seem to think I wasn't commenting about the /EXCLUDE.   With a 
faster integrated search, there wouldn't be this discussion, or there'd 
be a discussion of the search grammar necessary for a custom search — 
this assuming that /EXCLUDE didn't go directly to the fast search 
itself.

searches are now expected.  Well, expected for those folks that've 
experienced them.
