</div></div>Do you have a specific issue with {ngemDaq targh yInej} or {qawHaqDaq<br>

<div><br></div><div>Also, what if I want to leave the search target unspecified?  e.g., &quot;Search (in) the forest&quot;, &quot;Search (in) the data banks&quot;?</div><div><br></div><div>Actually, &quot;Search (the) database&quot; was the idea I originally wanted to express, and I first wrote down {qawHaqDaq nej}, but then it seemed wrong to me when I looked at it.</div>
