We present results from MiniMax (Fermilab T-864), a small test/experiment at the Tevatron designed to search for the production of disoriented chiral condensate (DCC) in $p - bar p$ collisions at $sqrt{s} = 1.8$ TeV in the forward direction, $sim 3.4 < eta < sim 4.2$. Data, consisting of $1.3 times 10^6$ events, are analyzed using the robust observables developed in an earlier paper. The results are consistent with generic, binomial-distribution partition of pions into charged and neutral species. Limits on DCC production in various models are presented.
