distance to the last click point. Best match depends on
how well the keywords match. Most recent depends
on the modification date of the page.

"any" matches one or more of the keywords, and "boolean" matches a
boolean expression, such as
MyGeo
MyGeo is a feature to remember your preferred position using a cookie.
If you use the
MyGeo setup
to set the cookie, then MyGeo will be automatically selected by default
and will be used as your search point. This may let you use the
search engine on a non-graphical browser.
The cookie does not track your identity, it merely stores your preferred
position (which may not be your actual position). It is not
available to any other websites.
