627554 - Support AND queries

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Input :: General, defect, P2)

Description

[chris hofmann]

I want to be able to combine some search terms to make sure I've captured many possible ways that people describe things, and to compare and contrast different aspects of features or behavior.

for example combine instances of "addon" add-on" "add on" from

http://input.mozilla.com/en-US/search/?q=add%20on&product=firefox&version=4.0b9

http://input.mozilla.com/en-US/search/?q=addon&product=firefox&version=4.0b9

to create

a summary query and graph using

http://input.mozilla.com/en-US/search/?q=addon&q=add-on&product=firefox&version=4.0b9


on the contrasting side I want to look at number of people with positive v. negative comments when I match terms like "stable" and "crash"

looks like currently it just matches on the last q=search_term

CCing Davedash so he can jump in if I am completely off here, but there are search operators you can use for sphinx: http://sphinxsearch.com/docs/1.10/extended-syntax.html

The "or" operator is the pipe character:

    add-ons | addons

should do the trick.

http://input.mozilla.com/en-US/search/?q=speed|slow|fast&product=firefox&version=&date_start=8%2F8%2F2010&date_end=

gets a lower number of matches than just

http://input.mozilla.com/en-US/search/?q=speed&product=firefox&version=&date_start=8%2F8%2F2010&date_end=

also tried q=speed | slow | fast

and 

q="speed | slow | fast"

without much success.

We do not support that at the moment.

Verified on stage

Verified using a simple search like http://input.allizom.org/en-US/?q=test|google and http://input.allizom.org/en-US/?q=test&google.

Verified using more search criteria like http://input.allizom.org/en-US/?q=test|google&product=firefox&version=7.0&date_start=2011-10-20 and http://input.allizom.org/en-US/?q=test&google&product=firefox&version=7.0&date_start=2011-10-20
