Hello,
short Question: Why you don't use "&&" like in Java? If you do so,
you
can later use "||" for OR and "!!" for NOT.
With this you can realise "Category:9/11&&People" and more complexe
querys like "Category:9/11&&People||buildings" which gives all People
or
Buildings which have to do with 9/11.
For such complex queries I guess you'd have to define an operator
precedence, or you would have to use brackets all the time:
"Category:9/11&&(People|| Buildings)" is something completely
different
than "Category:(9/11&&People)|| Buildings", which is not what you
want.
Isn't that too complex for the average user?
OR having precedence over AND would suit most of the needs. As I said, Google
does it that way. For those needs which are not suited, brackets are an
option.
