What do you mean by opening a new window? At what point? To be honest, new windows bug me, but we could make it a check box option if I understood what you were after.You can do a phase now with the Slow Message search on the advanced page. I'm not sure, but it looks like the () will also support that. Here's a summary of the new search features in 4.0:
+ A plus sign prepended to a word indicates that this word must be present in every row returned.
- A minus sign prepended to a word indicates that this word must not be present in the rows
returned.
By default - without plus or minus - the word is optional, but the rows that contain it will be rated
higher. This mimicks the behaviour of MATCH ... AGAINST() without IN BOOLEAN MODE
modifier.
< > These two operators are used to increase and decrease word's contribution to the relevance value,
assigned to a row. See an example below.
( ) Parentheses are used - as usual - to group words into subexpressions.
~ This is negation operator. It makes word's contribution to the row relevance negative. It's useful
for marking noise words. A row that has such a word will be rated lower than others, but will not
be excluded altogether, as with - operator.
* This is truncation operator. Unlike others it should be appended to the word, not prepended.And here are some examples:
apple banana
find rows that contain at least one of these words.
+apple +juice
... both words
+apple macintosh
... word ``apple'', but rank it higher if it also contain ``macintosh''
+apple -macintosh
... word ``apple'' but not ``macintosh''
+apple +(>pie... ``apple'' and ``pie'', or ``apple'' and ``strudel'' (in any order), but rank ``apple pie'' higher than
``apple strudel''.
apple*
... ``apple'', ``apples'', ``applesauce'', and ``applet''
