Chris, thanks for confirming that I am not going mad. Although my fellow
AIIP members also managed to replicate and do even more weird things
with the asterisk, so I was half certain that it wasn't just me.
The asterisk is not mentioned in the help files any more but is in their
newsletter (September 2005 I think) and they do mention it in the
support group. What is so puzzling is that up until a few weeks ago it
was working fine and now has gone belly up. I am now looking more
closely at my other 'asterisk' test searches and there are anomalies in
those too, although not as obvious or extreme.
I'd welcome any other thoughts while we await a response from Google (we
could be waiting a long time).
Karen
