* A phrase in a Words search can be no longer than 4 words. A Words
search can be up to 10 words long, not including Boolean operators.
* Refer to a previous Words search by typing a number sign (#) and the
Log entry number of the previous search.
* Computer Select LE contains a list of masked words that can not
be used in a Words search (words like "the" and "a"). Omitting these
words makes the search process much faster. If your search phrase
includes a masked word, you can replace it with a wildcard and
process the search as usual.
