The web interface connects to the DisOrder server like any other user, though
it is given a special privilege to "become" any other user. (Thus, any process

+.SS "Searching And Tags"
+Search strings contain a list of search terms separated by spaces. A search
+term can either be a single word or a tag, prefixed with "tag:".
+.PP
+Search words are compared without regard to letter case or accents; thus, all
+of the following will be considered to be equal to one another:
+.PP
+.nf
+ LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E
+ LATIN SMALL LETTER E
+ LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E WITH GRAVE
+ LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH GRAVE
+ LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E plus COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT
+ LATIN SMALL LETTER E plus COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT
+.fi
+.PP
+The same rules apply to tags but in addition leading and trailing whitespace is
+disregarded and all whitespace sequences are treated as equal when they appear
+as internal whitespace.
+.PP
+Where several tags are listed, for instance the tags preference for a track,
+the tags are separated by commas. Therefore tags may not contain commas.
