Is it currently possible to search by grouped terms and multiple operators:

`tags:(openid-connect AND theme-component) OR (official OR tagging)`

Thank you!

OR = tags:x,y  
AND = tags:x+y

By testing, mixing the two for complex searches doesn’t seem to work. For example tags:x+y,z  
Would be a nice improvement !

And adding parenthesis usage to be able to do for example (x+y),z or x+(y,z) would be amazing.
