in reply to Logical expressions

What does a binary NOT operator mean? I would have expected AND or OR before the NOT in your example.

    Looks like a search query to me, so NOT would mean "and doesn't contain" (like the - operator in Google queries). Also, if queries meaning "documents not containing term" are unsupported (again like Google), then there's no need for a unary negation operator.

    sorry for the late reply.
    yep, the NOT defines any terms, that the article it is searching, doesnt contain said terms.
