Well, it should (last "Period" is default), but I haven't checked it. We
always have a few Server commands on all intallations...although the method
with -i and "DeleteNoServer no" is also used.

Huh...I used to be in UdmSearch team two-three years ago, and although
webmaster removed my name from the site ("Authors" page), you can find it
in mnogosearch tarball, file AUTHORS ;) I have contributed to some pieces
of code I do not remember yet... and later moved to ASPseek project as it
was more promising and advanced. Still, core MnogoSearch developers are my
friends.

BTW, some "hairy code" from MnogoSearch (like HTML parser) is used in
ASPseek. And MnogoSearch has some advantages, like support for myriad of
different databases and hardware/OS combinations, indexing of news servers,
Perl frontend, etc.

Still, I found ASPseek much better as it comes for relevance (accuracy of
results), scalability and search speed.

Stuckness  shouldn't be avoided.  It's the psychic  predecessor of all
real understanding.  An egoless acceptance of stuckness is a key to an
understanding of all Quality, in mechanical work as in other endeavors.
