Muddiest Point Week 10

Bag of word representation seems like a bad method. How often is a query submitted that is just looking for a word? Unless the searcher has no idea where to begin and is just jumping in with one specific word, I can't imagine a great deal of benefit in this style of organization.

If you're an average searcher, what's the best clue to tell them if the search system/engine/whatever that they're using utilizes boolean operators because not all do.
