>I've looked in the archives for comments on clipping queen's 
>wings and got no hits

I got 170 hits on my first try using the advanced search and entering
"clip queen" into the search box.   

I also checked the substring box before hitting the search button.

Those are the most obvious keys, and with "substring" active, the 
advanced search will look for the words "clip". "clipped", "clipping", 
"clipper", etc. near the word "queen" and return all such posts.

If you don't want all the variotions on "clip", including words that 
include "clip" like "tieclip", then leave the box unchecked.

The basic search is pretty much useless.  Alway use the *advanced* 
search and try with and without substring checked.
