> I have confirmed that this problem exists... Here's the original report.
> -- In an email to dspace-tech, Jessica Lindholm writes:
> Dear all,
> I would like some advice on Boolean operators and their implications on
> search / search results.
>
> Some publications have a minus sign in titles, e.g. in Chronic intraoral pain
> - assessment of diagnostic methods and prognosis
> http://hdl.handle.net/2043/12563.
>
> This gives us a problem when searching for the item. It coincides with '-'
> minus being the operator for AND NOT, so we all of a sudden look for stuff
> without specific words. A simple free-text search matching the title above
> leads to zero hits. And users tend to e.g. copy a title from a reference list
> to the search box.
>
> Has anyone encountered the same problem? We have looked around and haven't
> found a solution (stopwords, tokens, queries).
>
> We are using AND as standard operator for all searches, i.e. we have that
> changed in config.xml (from default OR). If we had used OR as default the
> problem wouldn't appear, and possibly this opens up for a logical slip in the
> system (or by me, which is not unlikely at all). Google uses the same
> operator, but handling it differently when surrounded by whitespaces.
>
> Is this a possible bug encountered?
>
> We would preferably like to change the Boolean operators to usage of
> capitalised AND NOT, AND etc instead of -,+. Believing this would solve the
> issue. Is this possible (Java okay)?
>
> However when matching exact, using quotation marks both the searches:
> "Chronic intraoral pain assessment of diagnostic methods and prognosis"
> (minus excluded) and "Chronic intraoral pain - assessment of diagnostic
> methods and prognosis" works fine. So the minus is treated to some extent.
>
> Looking forward to understand better,
