OK, so a poor-man's horizontal ellips is off-limits. So obscure a bug that I am amazed I even uncovered it. Anyway, the rest of my response:

(I think Shoebox was the name of a database for storing linguistic knowledge--celebrating the organizational capacities of a device that wasn't even invented for the purpose. Be made an OS imaginatively called BeOS that stored all kinds of meta-data in its filesystem that literally was set-up as a database. Perhaps it was the better filesystem, but BeOS withered despite its qualities.)

P.S. Search has become an important instrument in my electronic library, and is all but absent in my non-electronic one.
