Zoekt syntax not behaving as expected

hello @dgruzd

I am testing out zoekt syntax and I am not understanding some of the results. I believe AND operator is not behaving itself. Let me show some examples:

search term import antlr_grammar Here the AND operator should be in play:

It seems the AND is not working as I expect because some lines contain only 1 keyword.

NOT also seems strange, antlr_grammar -import yields zero results but should yield several such as antlr_grammar.optionsSpec.parseString(text) #@UndefinedVariable also seen in the above screenshot.

Am I misunderstanding what the class foo query is doing? Is it perhaps looking in the whole file rather than line by line? using regex directly is behaving like I am expecting, so maybe it is just a documentation issue in how the AND and/or OR operators are presented?

Thanks for your help to understand this apparent discrepancy.

Best wishes,

Sean
