Boolean Search Broken

[7aac050a]

When searching for jobs, is the boolean search feature broken?

Example:

1. I enter `title:(full stack developer)` into the search bar and hit enter
2. This turns into `title:(full AND stack AND developer)`
3. Any additional searches add additional `AND`s: `title:(full AND AND AND stack AND AND AND developer)`

I can't even use OR statements. Is anyone else encountering this issue? If not how do I use boolean searches?

I tried this on Firefox and Brave.

Hi Naveen,

I am sorry to hear about the trouble using a boolean search. Could you please try again after clearing Cookies and Cache on your browser? You can also try using a different browser. Feel free to message us if problems persist.

Pradeep,

Thanks for your reply. I cleared cookies and cache in Firefox and the issue still occurs. I also tried in Edge and the saved search function is not persisting my searches properly.

Also I discovered that the `Feedback` link in the bottom (footer) of the page does not do anything when clicked. 

Can you engage your engineering team to take a look and fix these issues?

Thanks,

Naveen

I'm using as much of a Boolean filter as Upwork will allow at this moment. Have you logged out and back in?

I know it sounds like copy and paste, but reboot.

Thanks for your message Jeanne. Logging out and back in did not fix the issue.

This is a bug that needs to be addressed and fixed by Upwork engineering. As stated above, I am unable to submit Feedback using the link in the Footer.

This bug is significantly hindering my ability to use Advanced Search to find jobs that I would like to apply to. As soon as I click 'next' to go to the next page of search results, the search `title:(full AND stack AND developer)` turns into `title:(full AND AND AND stack AND AND AND developer)`. This results in only jobs with the word `and` showing up in my search results.
