No, implied AND not OR. To keep it simpler, we can limit the semantic
to multiple terms that should be treated equally by the client software.
It would be up the search or other server software to create a list
of terms. This should avoid the issue of true query syntax.
An Nick points out, there should also be a change in proxy behavior.
And, the highlight to highlight client application jump would
make the whole thing a lot more useful.
