Special-case None search() results in AND, AND NOT, and OR contexts, and
uncomment the test cases that were failing in these contexts. Read it and weep <wink>: In an AND context, None is treated like the universal set, which jibes with the convenient fiction that stop words appear in every doc. However, in AND NOT and OR contexts, None is treated like the empty set, which doesn't jibe with anything except that we want real_word AND NOT stop_word and real_word OR stop_word to act like real_word If we treated None as if it were the universal set, these results would be (respectively) the empty set and the universal set instead. At a higher level, we *are* consistent with the notion that a query with a stop word acts the same as if the clause with the stop word weren't present. That's what really drives this schizophrenic (context-dependent) treatment of None.
