If you do something like: from:louisvillemojo OR louisville OR kentucky
it will do what you describe, but if you want to do something like from:louisvillemojo OR (louisville AND kentucky) then it will not work. You would have to do 2 separate queries in that case. -Chad On Thu, Oct 29, 2009 at 3:01 PM, Mike <mike8...@gmail.com> wrote: > > We are trying to do a search where the results can come from two > keywords, or from an author. > > It seems that the search API has an AND relationship between the > author and keywords.
