. . . dang it. Should have just kept my mouth shut then. Yes, of course, I mean a hacker is someone that's really good at programming and I'm a better programmer than a mathematician that's all. But I ran into a good example of the searching problem above:

Suppose I wanted to search for the integral:

\int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2}\frac{\ln(1+b\,\sin(x))}{\sin(x)}dx

Now, how do I find every record with that (indefinite) integral in it and even when the b is different or log instead of ln, Jesus, while I'm at it, how about a cosine or too?
