(**DRIFT WARNING**)

Another weird problem I noticed last night WRT Shakespeare:  while expounding
on the virtues of my new NeXTCube to some friends, I decided to look up the
famous soliloquy from Hamlet, "To be, or not to be..."  Bad choice! I tried
looking up just "not to be" (in case the punctuation was wrong) as well as
neighboring phrases like "slings and arrows" and "outrageous fortune".
All of these searches returned (after a LONNNG pause) with "0 Found" - WHY?

Being not intimately familiar with Hamlet, I'm not sure which Act/Scene
this appears in, but my quick glances through the individual files did not
reveal this passage either.  In desperation (my friends were saying unkind
things at this point...) I went to Quotations, and lo! there was exactly
the passage I had been searching for.   :-|

Later on (alone with my obstreperous cube) I completely re-indexed the
Shakespeare target.  No help.  I also was displeased to notice on closer
inspection that the citation in Quotations did not include the Act/Scene
number, but rather only a line number (wow - that's useful!).  :-(

I'm certainly willing to believe that it's entirely pilot error - please
tell me where I missed the mark. (Also, if you know the Act/Scene/Line of
that soliloquy, I'd appreciate knowing that too).

Thanks!
