   Two questions about the search:

   1. will you make the searchform submit on hitting enter?

   2. will you eliminate the necessity of putting "AND"-operators in between the search terms?

   {Link} This link uses javascript. If you would like to use @formula language, you could try the code below.

   REM {hyphen can be part of a word, or as NOT};

   trimmedquery:=@LowerCase(@Trim(text));

   t000:=@If(@Begins(trimmedquery;"-");" "+trimmedquery;trimmedquery);

   REM {hyphen can be part of a word, or as NOT};

   trimmedquery:=@LowerCase(@Trim(text));

   t000:=@If(@Begins(trimmedquery;"-");" "+trimmedquery;trimmedquery);

   REM {the hyphens that are not part of a word-combination are replaced by NOT and before and after quotation marks # (pound-keys) are placed};

   t00:=@ReplaceSubstring(t000;

   " - " :" -" : " not " : " \"" :"\" " ;

   "%20and%20not%20" : "%20and%20not%20" : "%20and%20not%20" : "#\"" :"\"#");

   t0:=@Explode(t00;"#");

   REM {the query is split into elements, where everything between quotation marks is a seperate element};

   xt:=@Transform(

   t0; "x";

   @If(

   @Contains(x;"\"");

   @ReplaceSubstring(@Trim(x);" ";"%20");

   @Trim(x)));

   REM {to avoid AND operator between words in between quotation marks, the spaces are filled with %20};

   xt1:=@Trim(@Implode(@Unique(xt);" "));

   @ReplaceSubstring(xt1; " & " :" or ": " contains " : " " : "\"" ;

   "%20%26%20" :"%20or%20": "%20contains%20" : "%20and%20" : "%22")
