Hi Rakesh,
Perhaps the confusion comes from the asymmetry
between +X and -X. I.e., for the query:
A B -C +D
one might think that, similar to how -C only disqualifies docs
containing C (but not qualifying docs not containing C), also
+D only disqualifies docs not containing D. But this is
inaccurate, because +D, in addition to disqualifying
docs not containing D, also qualifies docs containing D.
The modified query that Steven suggested:
+(A B) -C +D
removes this asymmetry, because specifying +(A B) means
that D is not anymore sufficient to qualify a doc.
Hope this helps (otherwise let this reply be forever disqualified : - ) )
