I got 21 matches for "document management system". Note there's no s on
system; that would severely limit the search. Note also the quotes
around the search pattern. Otherwise, the results would simply include
all posts that contain all three words, regardless of how they were
used. (For example, a post containing the sentence "I gave the document
to management, and they systematically tore it apart." would qualify as
a match.)
Also, you probably want to limit the search to about the last two years,
or you're going to get obsolete info. So in the Since field use
1996-01-01, and in the Until field use 1998-04-01.
