The Boolean operators provided basically map to MUST (+), SHOULD (no symbol) and NOT (-)
If we write query like (jakarta AND apache) OR website what happen? >> It will return results with documents having Jakarta & Apache or Website Is it possible that we can get the document that contains 'jakarta' AND 'apache'. Also document may contain 'website'? >> +jakarta + apache website should do the trick Is it possible that if the document do not contains 'jakarta' AND 'apache', but contains 'website', the search result will give the result for document that contains 'website'? >> something like this should work -(+jakarta +apache) +website Another example: If you search for "(a AND b)" it will return x results If you search for "c" it will return y results If you search for "(a and b) or c" the number of results cannot be less than the larger of x or y. But this is not happening. Please help how should I proceed to implement this? >> Should not happen, you may just want to check the query that got executed.
