   Archiva can also search the index for java classes, packages, and methods and return a list of artifacts containing the
   query string. In the previous versions, we need to append the keyword 'bytecode:' before the query string in the search box

Jev, this example seems counter to the text. You say "exact query string", but the example seems to be "a string that contains both terms", ie it behaves more like commons AND logging. Can you clarify it further?
