<p>Search conditions within parentheses are evaluated first. If the order
of evaluation is not specified by parentheses, NOT is applied before AND,
and AND is applied before OR. The order in which operators at the same precedence
level are evaluated is undefined to allow for optimization of search conditions.</p>
