Add Vertical Bar | for OR searching

Please add | (vertical bar, aka "pipe" character) as a synonym for OR (same as Google). Currently vertical bar is ignored so search becomes AND between terms.

👎 There's already a lot of feedback that Logos search syntax is too complicated. Adding support for extra punctuation characters just seems like it's making the problem worse.

"There's already a lot of feedback that Logos search syntax is too complicated." Thank you for acknowledging.
So, what are your thoughts for improving in the future?
I understand some short cuts like searching from the context menu and modifying from there, and the drop down suggestions in the search box. But, there is currently no good comprehensive resource for strugglers like myself to learn or develop the understanding of the pieces and parts needed to construct a fairly common to complex search on the fly other than trial and error or the sometimes helpful wiki "notes".
Outside of some comprehensive training manual I cannot be of much help in suggestions.
Just hoping you might be willing to share your insights for the future of this tools usability for the layman user.

Thank you

It is currently ignored along with many other non-alphabetic characters!
