As an additional hint, many "stock" clients allow passing flags through to the server by including them - plus the lookup string - in quotes on the command line. Quoting prevents parsing by the local client. Hank Hampel wrote:

But how and where do I change the settings?
This depends on what whois client you use. If you use the commandline whois client from RIPE you can just use the new flags on the commandline.
If you use an other client it may not be able to "understand" the new flags so maybe you should switch to the RIPE client or use the web interface at: http://www.ripe.net/fcgi-bin/whois?form_type=simple&full_query_string=&searchtext=&Advanced+search=Advanced+search (this should be one line)
