Is your suggestion for improvement related to a problem? Please describe.
Searching for, say "<author>" and "<title word>" finds many irrelevant entries matching one or the other, not both.

Describe the solution you'd like

When I type multiple search texts into the search bar, it would be great if one could set the default search mode to an automatic AND search.
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

With the latest development version, this should work?

Note that with the latest development version, the fulltext search might stop working.

I did try today's build, 2024-10-26, but there's something wrong with the cursor control. When typing in a data field, the cursor would jump up to the search bar. So I gave up on today's release and went back to Monday 21 so I can get work done.

JabRef 6.0--2024-10-21--ca4e9bb
Linux 6.8.0-47-generic amd64
Java 22.0.2
JavaFX 24-ea+14

Bothj 2024-10-26 and 6.0--2024-10-21--ca4e9bb continue to demonstrate the difficulty I'm describing (multi-word searches are OR not AND).

Ah, it happend, what should not happen - the last version of Lucene-based search does not work (Boolean operator issue) - and Postgres does not work either (focus issue). We will try to fix soon. -> Filed #12099 to track.
