No. There's not a problem with the proposed correction to MFQP. MFQP should work the way Bill suggested.

My babbling about coffee or tea was more aimed at Bill's referring to "darn
users started demanding" <nifty feature>. So this is a totally different
matter. In my experience, many users fall to everyday language traps, like
in: "What do you want to drink, coffee or tea?" The answer normally isn't
'yes' to both, is it?




this problem may be solved if the users know the meaning of the following signs mean:
- + "" * ~
this will improve the results in a better way that our parsing is doing ...


I have an app where in some cases I make subqueries for an initial
user-stated query. The aim is to come up with pointers to partial matching
docs. The background is, one ill-advised NOT can ruin a query. But this has
nothing to do with MFQP. Just random thoughts about making users happy even
when they are new to formulating queries :-)

Cheers,
Ren�
