[E-trademarks] Let me be the first...

I see that Ed's right. You can use one of the enhanced searches (CM2, PM2,
TL2, WD2, WP2), assuming that you're happy to miss the odd mark that's been
capitalized, because they are case-sensitive (for some reason).
So if you didn't want to miss that odd mark -- which would seem infrequent,
I'll concede -- you could instead pluralize it manually:
CM:digital AND (CM:solver OR CM:solvers)
Or maybe get both:
CM:digital AND (CM:solver OR CM:solvers OR CM2:solver)
