Specific request; apparently all the software for one particular agency uses these keywords.

We support |, &, ! (or -) and ( ). I could make AND OR and NOT map to
those, though that confuses search for text that includes the words
explicitly.

The same user had never seen the | symbol, but they immediately wanted to write Boolean searches and said that all their software used capitalized AND OR NOT. I guess the question is how often to people want to search for the textual "and", "or", or "not" on their own? We could still support that as part of a quoted phrase.
