Hi Thomas, The Evergreen ILS's search grammar is fairly well documented at https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=documentation:technical:search_grammar and, while the fine details and stock configuration are out of date, that should serve to explain how we treat different parts of a complicated search query. For a bit of backend detail on how Evergreen goes about indexing bib data you can look at https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=documentation:indexing but that is only a very small part of search indexing these days, as many new features and functionality have been added since that was written.
