I think that is correct.  Just to be safe why don't you just do the or
in your search (and not worry about the brackets): 

  (('Email Address' LIKE "B0%") OR ('Email Address' LIKE "b0%"))

Subject: LIKE operator with brackets in search

Listers,

      I've never fiddled with searches that use a combination of LIKE
operator and brackets (i.e. [ and ]).  Have read the documentation and
believe I'm using it correctly, but it's not returning any matching
requests.

      My customer is changing their e-mail server and e-mail address
format, so I'm trying to identify users whose e-mail address is in the
old format.  I'd previously implemented a maintenance facility so they
can update their own, so I have a mix of upper and lower case entries.
I'm looking for e-mail addresses that begin with B0 or b0, so in a User
search window, I tried the following in ASB:

      'Email Address' LIKE "[Bb]0%"

      If I use 'Email Address' LIKE "B0%" or 'Email Address' LIKE "b0%",
each returns matching requests.

      Am I using this incorrectly (brackets or LIKE)?  We're running ARS
6.0.1, patch 1454, on Oracle 9i and Solaris 5.9
