There is a request to make the SO search default to an AND style functionality over the current OR when multiple terms are used.
The official response was:
not as simple as it sounds; we use SQL Server 2005’s FREETEXT() function, and I can’t find a way to specify AND vs. OR — can you?
So, is there a way?
There are a number of resources on it I can find, but I am not an expert.
OK, this change is in — we now use
CONTAINS()with implicitANDinstead ofFREETEXT()and its implicitOR.
