(description
- "GNU Bool is a utility for finding files that match a boolean expression.
-The boolean operators supported are AND, OR, and NOT. Also supported is the
-NEAR operator for locating two expressions within a short distance from each
-other.")
+ "GNU Bool is a utility to perform text searches on files using Boolean
+expressions. For example, a search for \"hello AND world\" would return a
+file containing the phrase \"Hello, world!\". It supports both AND and OR
+statements, as well as the NEAR statement to search for the occurrence of
+words in close proximity to each other. It handles context gracefully,
+accounting for new lines and paragraph changes. It also has robust support
+for parsing HTML files.")
