John -- This is a tremendously valuable tool. Congratulations! I did
find a glitch, though, and report it to you for whatever good it may do:
When I searched for "Blue Sapphire", I got "0" matches. But when I searched
for "Sapphire", there was a "Blue Sapphire" among the matches. This is why,
although I rely on machines, I don't trust them. Be that as it may, this
will save lots of people lots of time and paperwork.
