Boolean Search #165

Being that PostgreSQL supports Boolean Search, when will it come to Watson?

Almost certainly never, since the syntax is database-dependent, and can't be supported in all search backends.

It would require implementing a new, opt-in boolean search language that would be then transcompiled to a database-specific boolean search.

I'm open to convincing, but this feels like a lot of complexity to implement a feature that's not applicable to a lot of users.
