sup talk - Feb 2008 - Boolean "OR" operator in query?

Hi,

I''m using the latest git Sup, and I tried to do the following query:

    label:admin OR label:info

Here''s an excerpt from the log (a little formatting to dodge wrapping)

    Wed Feb 27 19:49:18 -0600 2008:
        normalized "label:admin OR label:info" to "label:admin
label:info"

    Wed Feb 27 19:49:18 -0600 2008:
        got 1 results for query (offset 0) +(+label:admin +label:info)
        -label:spam -label:deleted

It''s pretty clear the boolean operators are getting dropped.  It also
easy to
find the section of code in index.rb that''s doing this conversion.  I
read a
little of the Ferret API and also some of the comments in
Redwood::Index.parse_user_query_string, but I''ve not yet reached an
understanding of why the operators are being dropped.

So I got lazy and thought I''d ask the list because I''d like to
have the ability
to have disjunctions in queries.

Thanks for your help,
Sukant

The latest git next has the query normalization stuff removed because it
was breaking several things, including this.
