Hi - Sorry it was very late at night for me and I think I didn't pick my
wordings right.
bq: it is indeed returning documents with only either one of the two query
terms
What I meant was: Initially, I thought it was only returning documents
which contained both 'tv' and 'promotion'. Then I realized I was mistaken;
it was also returning documents which contained either 'tv' or 'promotion'
(as well as documents which contained both, which were scored higher).
I hope that clears the confusion.
Thanks
