Would this project answer the question I am trying to address today?
"Which American actors died in 1970?"
There does not appear to me, to be any obvious way of using the built-in search engine to answer this question. Searching for "Actor 1970" generates a lot of false positives, an overwhelming number.
Is there no way to find the intersection of two categories ?
