I rarely find myself using any explicit boolean operators when I use Google. And even when it returns 657,340,269 pages, the ones I wanted tend to be in the top 30. I think "OR" searching is fine if the result scoring can be done intelligently somehow.
It's pretty simple. The default operator should continue to be 'OR', but the result sorting should give precedence to results that satisfy the 'AND' condition. No, I don't know hoe to get it to do this. Didn't Catalog results used to have a 'score' attribute for something like this? HTH, Michael Bernstein.
