Change Queries and Boolean Operators

[Marc Swingler]

The documentation for boolean operators is a bit sparse. Anyone have working examples?

for example, the following query:

q=change%3AI0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567+status%3A%28merged+OR+abandoned%29

returns new CRs in addition to abandoned and merged CRs, which is not the result I was expecting.

AND

The boolean operator AND (in all caps) or and (all lower case) can be used to join two other operators together. This results in a restriction of the results, returning only changes that match both operators.

OR

The boolean operator OR (in all caps) or or (all lower case) can be used to find changes that match either operator. This increases the number of results that are returned, as more changes are considered.

Please try "(status:merged OR status:abandoned)" instead of "status:(merged OR abandoned)".
