By default the list of tags without any logical operators is considered as an AND expression. For example

this expression will find only features which have @smoke and @wip and @slow tags.

A more complex expression might look like this:

This expression will find all features that have @smoke and @wip tags but not @slow tag

You can use parentheses in complex expression statements to enforce the precedence of operators.

For example, if you want to find all features tagged with @smoke and @wip, as well as all features with @slow tag

Note that if you do not use parentheses, the expression will be evaluated left-to-right.

You can also use parentheses to group clauses, so that you can apply the NOT operator to the group.
