Hello there,

Our quick search form on the homepage and in the navigation bar ist working 
with a boolean OR operator by default. For example, if I enter the string 
"Adaptation of model organisms", I get a hit list with over 700 hits 
because every single entry is listed that contains any of the words 
"adaptation" OR "of" (!) OR "model" OR "organisms" in any indexed metadata 
field. I know that there is a publication with a title beginnig exactly 
with this string, but that hit is not at the top, but hidden somewhere in 
the middle of a list of otherwise not relevant hits.

I personally don't find this useful and I don't know who does. When I enter 
a bunch of words in a "quick search" form, I want exactly the results that 
contain ALL the terms entered - the results of a search with an AND 
operator. An OR search should only be available, if at all, as an advanced 
search option that the user consciously selects.

So where can I change the behavior of the search and set it accordingly?

Thank you and kind regards
Matthias
