+   The simplest example of a Prefix Query would be something like
+   <screen>
+    f knuth
+   </screen>
+   or
+   <screen>
+    f "donald knuth"
+   </screen>
+   In those queries no attributes was specified.
+   This leaves it up to the server what fields to search but
+   most servers will search in all fields. Some servers does not
+   support this feature though, and require that some attributes
+   are defined. To add one attribute you could do:
+   <screen>
+    f @attr 1=4 computer
+   </screen>
+   where we search in the title field, since the use(1) is title(4).
+   If we want to search in the author field <emphasis>and</emphasis>
+   in the title field, and in the title field using right truncation
+   it could look something like this:
+   <screen>
+    f @and @attr 1=1003 knuth @attr 1=4 @attr 5=1 computer
+   </screen>
+   Finally using a mix of Bib-1 and GILS attributes could look
+   something like this:
+   <screen>
+    f @attrset Bib-1 @and @attr GILS 1=2008 Washington @attr 1=21 weather
+   </screen>
