Implement logical operators in searches (and, or, not, etc) #21

Right now, BPM searches are limited to merely combined terms. For example, +Fluttershy +luna will return only emotes that include Fluttershy AND luna in them. This is the only search method possible outside of searching for specific subreddits. Using searches like sr:mylittlepony sr:shymotes return those subreddits, but are still AND searches.

A modifier to this such as +fluttershy, +luna or +fluttershy || +luna would then read as fluttershy OR luna and thus return all Fluttershy and all Luna emotes, like would would appear in exclusive +fluttershy or exclusive +luna searches.

To allow AND searches, either use a comma, ie +fluttershy, +luna to combine separate terms or just continue to use a simple space like what's used right now.

In short, implement logical operators in searches.

Thank you! This would be nice to have, and I had been thinking of this myself.
