Hi,

I can understand that you need additional + before the search-words to get a "real" 
AND, but what confuses me is that 

10060 && 10040

(which should be the same as AND) does a real boolean AND like

+10060 AND +10040   

In the query syntax docu, you read "The symbol && can be used in place of the word 
AND.". But it is totally different. How do I explain that to my users?

Hi,

To achieve what you want, you need to use the required operand (+)
