Great. In general, the new search works so well that I forget that it's an opt-in beta... in particular, it's nice for creating fairly tight heuristically-defined lists of files for acting on with cat-a-lot on commons. Most of the outliers are conveniently sorted to the end of the listing for easy unselecting. I have bumped my head on (apparently) some query complexity limits while doing crazy things, but otherwise it's a very powerful tool for more than just landing a casual user on the right article page... cheers to everybody working on it. :)
