Searching the Unz database

Based on further communication with Bill Mullins I attempted to
perform queries using the Unz database with different browsers
(running on top of the Microsoft Vista operating system).

Performing an exact search for a string in quotes did not work
properly with all browsers.

Firefox 8.0: The search succeeded.

Google Chrome 16.0.xxx.xx: The search succeeded

Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.0.xxxx: The search failed. The error
message "Requires Valid Text Search String" was generated.

Here is a link to the starting webpage of the Unz database: http://www.unz.org
