natural language query

Post by Thunderstone »



Is there a way to AND two natural language queries, either using query
syntax or SQL statements?

e.g. "I want to identify hydroelectric projects proposed or under
construction" AND "I want detailed description of nature, extent,
purpose, problems, and consequences."

Sure:

<sql "select blah,blah,blah from yady_ya
where TEXT\FIELDS likep 'I want to identify hydroelectric projects...'
and TEXT\FIELDS likep 'I want detailed description of nature...'
">
