Summary

What we're after:
We are considering updating our the way we parse and execute query strings by switching from query_string to simple_query_string in the API. With this change will require the CMS app to update how we are passing the API call through.

Syntax update

Current UI

((coordinated OR communications) OR (in-kind AND contributions) OR ("independent expenditure")) AND (-travel -authorization)

Web UI update

(coordinated | communications)|(in-kind + contributions)|("independent expenditure") -travel -authorization

API query transformation

q=((coordinated|communications)|(in-kind+%2bcontributions)|("independent+expenditure"))&q_exclude=(travel+authorization)
