FAQ:eis Lookup,how many terms should I give?=phonenum.

[Don McDonald]

Dear Seqfans, Neil
RE: FAQ.
You may consider my tip or suggestion...

It seems if I give 'lookup' enough digits** total of my phone number
389 6820, OR of today's date 2003 5 18,
or about 6-8 RANDOM** DIGITS (not leading 1s and zeros)
grouped singly or in pairs, etc.,  (my future SEQ .. 25,55,69),
it is LIKELY that Lookup MAY HOPEFULLY REPORT FEW OR NIL MATCHES>>>

If the terms are of **telephone number size and randomness
then 1 term or 2 is a reasonable number of terms to search for.

You may find the appropriate sequence, including additional terms.
