Forum: Bug Report and Feature Requests

Let's say I do a Category search:

Showing: This [OR] That [OR] TheOtherThing

I'm asking about how the query is handled because if it's handled similar to something like SQL; I'd like to request a new feature (or find out how to do it if it's already there). For a search like this:

Showing: This [OR] (That [AND] TheOtherThing)

When I pick what to search on, there are two check boxes

- [] + []

I guess what I would need would be a LOT more complicated to make the UI for...

- [], + [], & []
- would actually not do it.

That would result in:

Showing: (This [OR] That) [AND] TheOtherThing

So what it might need is an input text box that fills in all the things you have checked as '+', and then you can change the [OR] to an [AND] as well as put in parenthesis, or even just let you type in an SQL query.
- if you edit this box, it then overrides the rest of your search, and if what you put in the box is invalid, it just returns an error that has a link to an external SQL website... :)

The problem with just 'toggling the check mark boxes' is the question of where the person wants the parenthesis. What things need to be in the 'and' and what don't.

The 'simpler solution' is already in there:

Find Stories having [Any,All,Exact Match] of the selected codes

So this is a 'niche' request for edge cases. Understandably low priority.

- [] + []

It's not the -/+ that controls the and/or in the boolean logic. It's the "Find stories having ALL/ ANY/EXACT MATCH

The - would be the NOT in the boolean logic.

What you're asking for is rather complex for Lazeez.
