I believe it does--furthermore even if it didn't, it would be easier to 
fix the bug than in the old parser.cc.

Anyone who wants my start at htsearch-new.cc can have it. It still needs 
some work, notably taking the results and feeding them to Display.cc. So 
far I haven't tackled the issue of collections either. The work 
shouldn't be bad and I'd be glad to give pointers. However it does need 
*hours*, which are in short supply in my life right now.

Anyone interested in taking a crack at this? I can promise the result 
will be *much* more flexible searching in the short and long term. 
Search performance will also ultimately improve significantly.
