Notes

  • The AND operator takes precedence over the OR operator in queries. You can change the operator precedence by using parentheses. For example, consider the following query:
    mobile text OR fixed
    This query is equivalent to:
    (mobile AND text) OR fixed
    You can change the order with parentheses so that the OR operator is evalued first, like this:
    mobile (text OR fixed)
  • You can use the & symbol for the AND operator and the | symbol for the OR operator
