3. A few funky things around intitle and incategory:
3a. You can combine them with a regular query (incategory:kings peaceful)
3b. You can use prefix searches with them (incategory:norma*)
3c. You can use them everywhere in the query (roger incategory:normans)
I especially want to point out here that, with the new search, we can do
"category intersection" searches, which people have wanted FOR YEARS.
Just as an example picked at random, you could search for
"incategory:women" and "incategory:novelists" and
"incategory:American".
Just to pick an example at random. ;-)

This is really exciting but we want to make sure it works right before
we roll it out to our bigger sites! So please do try it ou. On
test2.wikipedia.org you can copy templates and articles from your home
wiki and then run the search to see if things work okay.
