Working on a Tutorial to explain archive searching to beginners,

http://www.mindspring.com/~jaredmarkw/search.htm

I've found yet another problem with the documentation. While LISTDB MEMO
for release 1.8c indicates that AND (still) has a higher operator
precedence than OR, I find this is not the case and left-to-right seems hold:

SEARCH w1 OR w2 AND w3
=
SEARCH (w1 OR w2) AND w3

SEARCH w1 AND w2 OR w3
=
SEARCH (w1 AND w2) OR w3

Any thoughts?
