Hope that helps somewhat at least ;-) Don't think so :-( I'll keep searching for clues. The way Google seems to work these days one has to be quite enlightened to figure out the right search string to get an answer that helps.
Obviously natural language processing must be an extremely difficult problem, if Google with all their expertise and processing power can't put a natural language, front end on their search engine. I wonder whether some entrepreneurial start-up company with a new idea; might put together software which disambiguates say short English language search questions via a dialogue; then compiles a complex Google search string, to achieve that result ? regards Rohan McLeod
