Char reported some weird results searching. I got the same results. The problem was that she was using all caps in the search words (e.g., WORLD PREMIER). Using lower case did not result in the same problem.
Chris has debugged the problem. Please read below.

What was happening is that the OR (in all caps) in WORLD was being picked
up, so the search became 'W' OR 'LD PREMIER'. Every match returned had a
'W' in it.
I've changed the script to require white space before and after the OR,
AND, and NOT operators, so the query now works. But if people have to
use white space, so
(bob OR joe)AND blue
won't work; they need to do
(bob OR joe) AND blue

Thanks for the detailed bug report! It really helped track things down.
