The Zebra information server combines a versatile fielded/free-text
search engine with a Z39.50-1995 frontend to provide a powerful and flexible
given in place of the filename, this corresponds to a null mapping for
the given element set name.

+<tag>any <it/tags/</tag> (o) This directive specifies a list of
+attributes which should be appended to the attribute list given for each
+element. The effect is to make every single element in the abstract
+syntax searchable by way of the given attributes. This directive
+provides an efficient way of supporting free-text searching across all
+elements. However, it does increase the size of the index
+significantly. The attributes can be qualified with a structure, as in
+the <bf/elm/ directive below.

+<tag>elm <it/path name attributes/</tag> (o,r) Adds an element
to the abstract record syntax of the schema. The <it/path/ follows the
syntax which is suggested by the Z39.50 document - that is, a sequence
of tags separated by slashes (/). Each tag is given as a
comma-separated pair of tag type and -value surrounded by parenthesis.
