----------------------------------------------------------------------
  1. .. LII: Tip of the Week: How LII Search Works
----------------------------------------------------------------------
    By default, LII search uses an "and" search, and will try to match
    against all of the terms. The more words you add, the fewer
    results you will get. Compare a search for "eggs cheese" (without
    the quotation marks) with separate searches for "eggs" and
    "cheese." Your best matches will appear at the top of your results
    set.
