search operators

Per RobertWessel's response of:

"Searching with the + symbol is not the same thing as using AND in a Boolean search. The + symbol is closer to AND/OR...."

Would you please consider updating the search tips on the full-text search page? As it is, it makes it seem that the + symbol is indeed supposed to be equivalent to AND:

Include a specific word or phrase

Use the + symbol. Example: +Judith

If it's really more an AND/OR operator, then users need to be made aware. Otherwise, they may get frustrated.
