Hi csantos,

Very few people are subscribed to the [email protected] mailing list -

I'm not familiar with your use of the terms "standard model" and "extended 
model", so take my response here with a grain of salt.

There is no way I know of to include documents in the search results that 
violate the constraints represented by the connectors you use.  But if you're 
interested in getting all documents that match a query, can't you simply use 
all OR connectors?

Out of curiosity, how useful would it be for the query "A NOT B" to return 
documents that match "B"?
