Technorati search language

I can't seem to find documentation for Technorati's keyword search syntax anywhere. The help page and FAQ don't say a thing about complex queries and the text field says "Keyword or URL" which indicates to me that, perhaps, only single keywords are supported. I've had some success with NOT, but any more complex queries fail.

Hey lazyweb, where can I find documentation for the Technorati search language?

Update: since posting, I found a post from Dave Sifry with some example queries and some comparison of Technorati, PubSub, and Feedster.

Millions of ears

Tim Bray: the blogosphere, Long Tail and all, is not about the millions of voices, it’s about the millions of ears; it is, more than any other single thing, an improvement in our ability to listen, to find out what’s going on.

I like that.
