OK, quite a bit ahead of schedule here (like that's a bad thing? :) but I
have added in all of the features i was planning on adding.  In other
words, HOBBES Search v2.2 is now online, and it has the following new
features:

- snazzy-looking new interface (well, better-looking anyway :)
- multiple-term search, with the ability to search by one of:
  - all terms specified (i.e. boolean AND)
  - any of the terms specified (i.e. boolean OR)
  - exactly the terms specified (i.e. the way it used to be)

On a related note, if anybody has any suggestions for future improvements,
please feel free to email me.  Additionally, if you encounter any problems
with the search engine and I'm not working on it at the time (whenever I'm
working on it it'll generally have a message to that effect at the top of
the screen) *please* let me know.  My code is bug-free as far as I know,
but that doesn't mean it's unbreakable by any means.
