The bool operator does not work

Hi experts
When I search forum by more than one key word, I used "AND"(upper case) to filter the search results, but now this method does not work. How to deal with the bool operators?
Thanks!

I am seeing this as well. Using "AND" operator in the forum search no longer works.

assume - returns 69
session - returns 369
assume AND session - returns 432

Neither you can search by user name.

Hi Dianna,
Just wanted to let you know, that boolean operator used to work about 3 months ago. You may want to check to see if this mechanism was removed as part of upgrade to the forum software.

We are looking into the username field not working as well.

I apologize. I thought I had responded to this. Unfortunately, the search function was not implemented to parse the keywords string to pull out the boolean operators. This is not a problem with the main support site because we do provide you with the option to select this from a different field. I have asked our IT department if this same field can be added to the forums search page as well. I will keep you apprised.

Yes, inorder to integrate the search on the forums and the search on the support pages we had to make a change to the search operation on the forums site. It was this change/implementation that broke the boolean operator on the forums search page.
