Hi,

I realized from the documentation that I'm not looking for
compound words after all, I meant "exact phrase".

I can't see how to make rank tell me which results has an
exact phrase? Like "there must be a occurence of 'new' before
'york'"  (stemmed not really exact phrase)?

Is there something new in rank for pg 8.1?

Thanks!
Marcus
