? Verify the "robustness" of the search terms keyword syntax

You should be able to search for phrases (i.e. search terms: <lyrics for "a day in the life">); common words {a,and,be,for,from,has,i,in,is,it,of,on,to,the,not,or} are ignored unless they are a part of a phrase; everything is ANDed; extraneous punctuation {?!;,':+-@#$%^%&*().} should be ignored; whitespace characters {tabs, extra spaces, forced newline characters} should be ignored. Please experiment with the keyword search's features to narrow or tailor your searches, or to try and break the search. It will be difficult to gauge the effectiveness of the search because the databases being searched have their own searching mechanisms and so does the metasearch engine. What we're looking for in this test is to see if there is any combination of search terms that breaks our keyword search and produces an error. These features may currently only be available at UM.
