One idea I was thinking about was creating result sets that can be combined. So, instead of just creating a directory of results that is reused for each search, the results of each search could be stored in a separate directory, e.g. results-1, results-2, etc. Another script could then take further input to say how these result sets should be combined, e.g. (results-1 OR results-2) AND results-3. This could be written in ovid syntax just using the numbers: (1 OR 2) AND 3. The other alternative is to write something that will parse user input that is a little more friendly than regexprs, so people could enter something like google searches. To be honest I doubt I'd create something like this unless there were "many" people who want it.

how can I do AND instead of OR, and yet not know word order?)

Try this as a search for "foo wibble wibble bar" or "bar wibble wibble foo" (not tested on the iliad):
Code:
\(foo.*bar\)\|\(bar.*foo\)
