Sorry for bumping this topic, but I really need to understand if the wiki is wrong or if my Alfresco server is misconfigured.

The official documentation makes this clear:
http://docs.alfresco.com/4.0/topic/com.alfresco.enterprise.doc/concepts/rm-searchsyntax-disjunct.html

The conjunctions page does not say that the default is "AND" while the disjunction page does say that the default is "OR".

I will change the wiki page accordingly.

Hi

At the API level you can set which one you want.
The wiki is correct - but you can set the default behaviour on the Java Query API.
THe wiki refers to the default for this API.

There are places where the default behaviour is explicitly set by the client.

Share search explicitly asks for implicit OR as opposed to implicit AND.

CMIS CONTAINS() has implicit (and no explicit) AND.

Hi,

I have a ticket open at Alfresco to clarify how this can be changed.
Our users are definitely expecting "AND" (Google also uses AND as far as I know).
