what most annoys me is that + no longer seems to work, if I say a term must be there don't try to second guess me, you do not know what I am looking for better than I do no matter how many statistics you have. Too may times I have used this and the result did not contain the word.

A solution would be to run it in a VM. I could do this but most users would not. To me the solution is automating the VM solution so you provide the average user the ability to run a non-trusted application.

you can un-install a VM.
