CirrusSearch should do something helpful if the search does not return enough results
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Since we'll be switching CirrusSearch to ANDing terms together by default this can lead to searches producing far fewer results. If the search yields too few results CirrusSearch should do something helpful if the search does not return enough results. I'm not sure what exactly we should do.

One option is to switch the search to ORing terms together again.
Another is to figure out a better search term and suggest that to the user.

Many of our recent improvements (such as TextCat) and our upcoming improvements to the search results page will handle this nicely. Closing as resolved.
