But I recommend something that fits both audiences, geeks and humans. Keep the _or_ conjunction while conveying that both strings will be found. Something like this: Finds the terms that occur before or after the '|'. For example, 'this|that' finds either 'this' or 'that'. It will find get this book or get that book, as long as either term is present, but not get another book, even if that term is present. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

The Help quotation is Finds the terms that occur before or after the '|'. For example, 'this|that' finds 'this' and 'that'. That's contradictory. That's what this bug report is addressing. More likely, the word and in the example, should be edited to or. That would produce For example, 'this|that' finds 'this' or 'that'. Or, if the opposite was intended, then the example should be left as it is but the first sentence quoted should be edited to replace the or with and, to produce Finds the terms that occur before and after the '|'. Outside of OOo, pipes are often used to mean or and I don't know any context where it means and. Thanks. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
