This WAIS service includes several indexed Biology information sources,
including Genbank nucleic acid gene sequence databank, Drosophila genetics
BioSci/Bionet network news, and others.

This WAIS service sports several zippy modifications.  These include
boolean operators 'and' and 'not', partial word matches,
literal phrase matches, and extended number of results.

Boolean searches: The terms 'and' and 'not' are effective 
    in modifying the query.   For example,
    
    Query: red and green not blue
    Result: just those records with both the words 'red' and 'green',
            excluding all records with the word 'blue'.
            
Partial words:  The asterisk (*) applied at the end of
    a partial word will match all documents with words that 
    start with the partial word.  For example,
    
    Query: hum*
    Result: all records with 'hum', 'hummingbird', 'human',
            'humbug', etc.
            
Literal phrases:  If quotes (') or double quotes (\") surrounding
     a phrase, it will match that phrase exactly.  For example,
     
     Query: 'red rooster-39'
     Result:  only those records with the the full string
            'red rooster-39' will be matched.

     There are some practical limits on this.  The first part
     of a literal must be a word that is otherwise indexed.
     Thus your literal cannot start with a symbol or other
     word delimiter.  Within quotes, the boolean operators
     and the partial word key are not active.
     
These features can generally be mixed in a query, for example:
     Query:  'Df(32)-[34]red' and hum* not Brown        


These modifications are based upon the publicly available WAIS
source distribution from ftp.think.com, version 8-b5, dated
10 May 92, by Harry Morris, Brewster Kahle and Jonathan Goldman.  

The boolean 'and' and the literal search code was borrowed mostly intact 
from the work done by Tim Gauslin on verson 8-b3 of wais source. 
This source is available thru ftp as
   ridgisd.er.usgs.gov:/software/wais/usgswais.tar
See the USGS_Earth_Science_Data_Directory.src WAIS source for more
details.

Other hacks, several bugs and general mangling of the wais source 
was added by d.g. gilbert (gilbertd@bio.indiana.edu).  These modifications
can (or in a bit) be picked up via ftp or gopher to ftp.bio.indiana.edu.
