Advanced search using the MUST (+) operator searches for OR instead of AND

Open DavidIB opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

If you use Advanced Search to search for "all of the words", the correct syntax is created but when the search is performed the syntax is lost. eg find every place where "all the words" "Jesus" and "tables" occur together. The correct syntax is: t= +Jesus +tables The URL created is: www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|syntax=t= +Jesus +tables But hovering over the roundle indicates that the search is "t= Jesus tables" image

I suspect that when the URL is interpreted, the "+" is changed to a space

I suppose the easiest way round this is to use "AND" instead of "+"

This problem is probably obsoleted.
