This behaviour may be very confusing if you don't know about it, and even if you do know you'll still have to keep it in mind. It certainly can make the syntax for a search look quite illogical when you're used to google's syntax. Maybe it's time for a "google-like search syntax option"-feature-request? Imho that would make searching more logical for a lot of users...
