    No. Allowing AND and OR at the same level is explicitly disallowed by his requirements. It's clearly wrong to use AND when the string contains OR and vice-versa, even if it wasn't explicitly stated. I suppose there's no harm is allowing a leading OR or AND. Finally, the parser also didn't do it's job wrt quoted strings. A parser that doesn't parse is buggy.
