does anyone know how to do searching on the story index using Boolean connectors? I do it in other programs, but can't work it here.

The Story Search function is very primitive and cannot do boolean searches. I don't know where plans to upgrade the search function are at the moment, but they're apparently a very low priority.

You might try using google's site search function but I don't know how well it works on the story database -- it should find anything in the title or blurb, but I don't think it can make a hit on keywords or content because the storypages are dynamicly generated.

I was afraid of that
not "go hide in the basement and get a weapon" afraid
more like " deep sigh and slumped shoulders" afraid.
