  Hi gang,

  Engineering has put in a wild card feature into the search function. If you 
put an asterisk in a search field, it will match 0-N characters. I put in 
"*guin" into the search field, and all the books by Ursula Le Guin were 
displayed as well as all books that had "penguin" in their titles. Very cool!

  This feature is not fully implemented yet, Engineering is still working on 
it, so the syntax may change in the future. They mentioned that they will need 
some beta testers of this feature in about 2 weeks time. If you're interested 
in helping out, please email me and I'll pass your name to the appropriate 
people.

  Thanks! Carrie
