Search with AND over different fields is not working

[joemouth]

Hi,

I have some PDF files with entries in the fields of document properties.

I would like to search with logical AND, but it is not working.

Example:
field author: "author"
field title: "title"

search:
1) author AND title => no result
2) author OR title => document is found, fields author and title are listed

3) if I fill field subject: "author title", then the document is found by the search "author AND title"
It seems to be, that AND is working for words in a field but not for searching words in different fields.

Is there a solution to make the AND search working for searching in different fields?

Many thanks and kind regards

Hi joemouth

we don't support logical operators in the search at present. e are looking at doing something like this however in the advanced search that is being planned for the new version due out late this year.

Hi Paul,

we don't support logical operators in the search at present

This sounds strange, because the logical operator "OR" is working as I tested and described above.

Try the following:
set author: worda wordb
set title: wordc

Search:

a) worda wordb
b) worda wordc
c) worda OR wordb
d) worda OR wordc
e) worda wordb wordd
f) worda AND wordb
g) worda AND wordc

a), b), c), d), e), f) are working as expected, logical Operator "OR" works c), d)
g) "AND" is not working with "AND" searching in two fields

e), f) shows, that "AND" is recognized as an operator because f) gives a result, e) not

Am I right?

kind regards
