I am building a search service in angular2 to call Azure search. I did a post with this data: 

{
count:true,
facets:["type", "status"],
queryType:"full",
search:"company && type:value1 || status:value2",
skip:0,
top:10
}

I want to bring all the data that has: type = value1 or status = value2 everything works great but the problem is the result: I am receiving only the results which have the type equals to value1 but not combined with the results that have the status equals to value2.

    Is there any particular reason you're using Lucene syntax for the 'type:value1 || status:value2' part of your query? Usually when implementing faceted navigation, you mark your facetable fields as filterable as well, and then include a filter: "type eq 'value1' or status eq 'value2'" in the request. – Bruce Johnston May 31 '17 at 21:15

    Filter syntax reference is here: https://learn.microsoft.com/rest/api/searchservice/odata-expression-syntax-for-azure-search – Bruce Johnston May 31 '17 at 21:15
  • yeah sure, you are right, I just found the exact solution as you mentioned. filter it what I was looking for. if you can write your answer as an answer so I can check it. thank you – Samy Sammour Jun 01 '17 at 08:47

I'm not sure why the search expression doesn't work as expected, but in situations like this where you're implementing faceted navigation it's usually best to use a filter instead:

filter: "type eq 'value1' or status eq 'value2'"
search: "company"

The filter and search parameters are automatically "ANDed" together.

You can find the reference docs for the OData filter syntax here.
