Perhaps a little link that just says "Learn about advanced search syntax" or whatever that unfurls a little help section.

And, if the search bar had an Advanced Mode, when the user is in Advanced Mode I'd just show the help info to them immediately, furling it back up once search results are shown.

Popularism is flawed because “voters support X” does not mean “voters will support candidate who supports X.” It’s not what issues you support as a candidate; it’s what those issues say about you.

You've got the Avalon eggnog, and some people say it's very good, but I don't think so folks. It tastes a little too much of rum to me. I like the *spicy voice* Lucerne... When I first heard that I said wow, what a beautiful word. But they only sell it at Safeway, folks, and that's a shame.
