As far as I know a Jabref search includes all fields by
default, unless one uses expressions like "title= ..."
or "author=...". So far thats fine.

But I feel that it gets unnecessarily complicated when
you want to search for A COMBINATION OF KEYWORDS and
you still want to include ALL FIELDS.

Suppose I want to search for entries using the combined
keywords "computer" AND "model".

Currently, I would have to enter in the search dialog:
"title|abstract|keywords= computer and
title|abstract|keywords= model"

Quite a lengthy query.
Wouldn't it be nice if one could simply type this
instead: "computer and model"

In short: I suggest that "AND" and "OR" should be
available in the standard search which includes all fields.

    I think this feather will make the search easier
    Also I suggest if you have a check list of sites that you want to search in
    like google, IEEE , etc
