This article is an old classic.
The "plus, minus, nothing" operators aren't without their issues
either

Hello,
I am trying to understand whether I am using the NOT operator correctly. I have
the following scenario:
Query 1 = body:(a OR NOT b)
This is parsed as: (body:a) -(body:b) and finds 96,620 hits
Query 2 = body:(a OR (*:* AND NOT b))
This is parsed as: (body:a) (+*:* -(body:b)) and finds 1
