Advanced Search is Broken - or Maybe I'm Doing Something Wrong

[mCHSNUg5Pz8cPap]

I upgraded to version 365.0 and I'm having problems getting advanced searches for "all of these words" and/or "any of these words" to work.
Here are the steps to reproduce the issue:
1. Download this file (a random patent I'm using to illustrate the problem):

US8695458B2.pdf

(805.3 KiB) Downloaded 22 times

2. Open the file and the advanced search pane.
3. Change the settings to be the same as follows:

4. Enter "slide hammer" (without the quotes) in the find text with all of these words field.
5. The search returns no results.
6. Repeat the search but with "slide hammer" (without quotes) in the find text with any of these words field.
7. Again, the search returns no results.
8. Repeat the search but with "slide hammer" (without quotes) in the find text with this exact phrase field.
9. The search finds a lot of results.

Is the search function broken or am I doing something wrong?

It seems to me too that the Search function is broken in build 365.

@Tracker support
Due to the addition of "Exact phrase" (topic 20541 - referred in the Version History) ?

Hi Guys,

yes, we are aware of this and it is going to get fixed in a soon to be released new build.

Sorry about that.

It seems to me that in the case of using the "any of these words" field, the nested list "proximity" [1] with the required item is misleading. If I want to find all documents that contain one of the words I have specified (results include at least one of the words you enter), then which list item should I select? (because I can't help but select one of the list items)

[1]

• Adjacent Words Only
• Words from the Same Paragraph
• Words from the Same Page
• Words from the Same Document

I think I see what you mean, there is no way to turn that proximity option off so that it matters not where in the documents "any of these words" are.

I am thinking that it might be appropriate to make it so one can toggle them all off. Let me see what I can find out.
