Advanced Search: Fielded Search: ANY vs EVERY #31
Description
I have mentioned this before, but will make a separate issue because I think it is important.
"any" field and "every" field are NOT the same thing.
when I type in keywords in the "ANY FIELD" box, I have a statement/flag appearing on top of the search boxes that says: "EVERY field contains....". There is a significant difference here. "ANY" means one or more of a number, "EVERY" means "all". It is very unlikely that somebody might search for a term in every single field in a variable description, because it is logically almost impossible that the same word will appear in every single field. I have actually never seen this type of search option - in which one gets results only if a word appears in all of the fields.
So something is not clear here, about what is really being searched. I think we need to clarify this, and change the postings on the page.
