What is the determining factor for 'and' vs 'or' searches

I have a question on how searches are executed. If you look at my attached example, you can see that I search for "1000 hp". In the first search table, the search appears to be an 'and' search (1000 and hp). However, in the next two tables an 'or' search was performed. Why? Is there a way I can control the how searches are performed?

Hi Dave,

It tries the AND search first, and if it doesn't find anything, fmSearchResults "loosens" the search to perform an OR search.

(Thanks for the screen shot)

Hope that helps,

John
