## Usage

### Normal search

Use *math* to search for results containing *math*, for example in *math*, *maths*, *mathematics*, *metamathematics* and *aftermath*.

### Separate search

Use *learnability; evolvability; universality* to search for results with all of *learnability*, *evolvability* and *universality*. Useful in searching for multiple topics mentioned within the same result.

### Nearby search

Use *bertrand russell + rosa luxemburg* to search for results with *bertrand russell* and *rosa luxemburg* nearby. Useful in searching for quotes.
