 ===== !TermSearch =====
-!TermSearch is a full-text search invoked on a specific target field in the discovery database. !TermSearch elements must have an attribute named "id" with an integer value representing the order to be considered in complex multi termed searches, usually though "id" can be considered as the number of the !TermSearch element.  If more than one !TermSearch element is used then all subsequent !TermSearch elements (excluding the first) must also have an "operator" attribute describing the relationship between the !TermSearch element in question with preceding !TermSearchs (the order of these is given by the "id" attribute).  Acceptable values for the operator attribute are "AND", "OR" and "NOT".
