Cannot restrict corpus to anonymous non-literary works
Reported by: Christian Dupont
Action: Mark and Christian will look into possible solutions
Documentation:
In the OVI Bibliography the author is listed as Anonimo only in cases where the document is regarded as anonymous literary work. For all other genres of anonymous works, the author is listed as = (an equals sign). Entering anonimo in the Author field will thus retrieve only anonymous literary works; however, entering = will currently retrieve ALL the documents in the OVI database, not just those with the author listed as =.
Regular expression hash mark operator does not work in conjunction with the vertical line operator.
Reported by: Catherine Mardikes
Action: This probably cannot be fixed. Catherine will amend the PhiloLogic
manual accordingly.
Documentation:

Thank you for checking these functions. I confirm that using a # after a | does not work. Searching for #pers.*|#med.* for example, will only give results that match the first part (pers.*); to get both parts, one would have to search #pers.*|med.* but obviously this does not restrict the med.* part of the search to only proper nouns beginning with Med. So I guess just adding a note to the documentation in the | operator section will suffice (unless Mark can fix this ;)
