Add full support for Boolean OR and Boolean negative text queries #604

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Add full support for Boolean OR queries.  Current code requires any text 
searches that contain an OR to be enclosed manually by the user in parentheses. 
 "Military OR Veteran" does not work. "(Military or Veteran)" does.

Also add support for text searches that are negative Boolean only.  (e.g., 
"-veteran" with no other search terms.  

Will need to confirm that are properly escaping all special characters like 
quotes, parentheses, etc.

Email snippet that was sent to Kelvin is below.
3. Provide AFG with the proper syntax for performing Boolean queries.  
Specifically the issue is how to properly structure a query that includes geo 
and only a negative Boolean on text.  (Not getting the parentheses and *:* vs. 
geo structured correctly I think)
