Have been looking for some time for a search site/toolbar that
supports the boolean operator "NEAR xx".
Altavista advanced searches used to provide this function, but it was
removed quite a while ago. I've tried searching the web for such
engines, but haven't had any luck at all.
Without the 'near" operator, boolean searches are mostly an exercise
in frustration, as the hits tend to be huge documents that include the
search terms, but not in any relation to each other.
