Hello again,
Prefix query in general means some thing like the following where the
operator is followed by the operands.
AND (a,b)
OR (a, AND (b,c))

If I apply this to the following definition, it still is not clear what it
will find-
AND (a,b) (Query)???

Just thought I would give more detail on what I am having trouble with.
Thx again!

Subject: another simple question on query syntax


                Hello,
                Does any one know what is  PrefixQuery '(' Query ')'? in the
definition of query syntax
Syntax:
Query  ::=  Clause  ( [ Conjunction ] Clause ) *

Where:
                Clause ::=  [ Modifier ] [ FieldName ':' ] BasicClause 
                        Modifier    ::= '-' | '+' | '!' | 'NOT'
                        BasicClause ::= ( Term | Phrase | | PrefixQuery '('
Query ')'
                        PrefixQuery ::= Term '*'
                        Term        ::= <a-word-or-token-to-match>
                        Phrase      ::= '"' Term * '"'

                Conjunction ::= 'AND' | 'OR' | '||'

                -----------------------------


                It seems to imply the following
                (dog*)((cat) AND (bird))
                but I am not sure what this finds.
                Thanks once again for all the help!
