Looking through the stuff at that link, I thought the "examiner's search strategy and results" was really interesting. It contains the record of how the examiner went about searching for prior art in the USPTO's database.

The query language reminds me of old-school web querying ("common near language with (api or application near interface)")

I can't find anything useful at that link - they seem to have changed URLs.

hmmm, I thought that was the actual page but maybe it was just a search result.

If you go to http://portal.uspto.gov/external/portal/pair , select "Application Number" in the dropdown, and enter 10/087027 it should get you there.
