AND (&)

Use the AND operator to search for documents that contain at least one occurrence of each of the query terms.

Syntax

Syntax	Description
term1&term2 term1 and term2	Returns documents that contain term1 and term2. Returns the minimum score of its operands. All query terms must occur; lower score taken.

Examples

To obtain all the documents that contain the terms blue and black and red, issue the following query:

'blue & black & red'

Notes

In an AND query, the score returned is the score of the lowest query term. In the example above, if the three individual scores for the terms blue, black, and red is 10, 20 and 30 within a document, the document scores 10.
