I'm using the search_repositories() function from the Pygithub package and am looking to build a query something like this in pseudo code:
('keyword1' OR 'keyword2) AND ('keyword3' OR 'keyword4') AND last_push_date > '2020-01-01'
So far I've not worked out the correct way to break up the clauses according to the logic of the parentheses and also have found that if I have any boolean logic, the 'qualifier' (i.e. the pushdate:>'2020-01-01') seems to break the query string and return no results.
I'm aware from the docs that you cannot have more than 5 AND/OR operators but in my testing that wasn't the case.
It seems that for instance I can do something like:
'"firstword secondword" OR "thirdword fourthword"' and it treats each as a phrase correctly, but adding a qualifier afterwards then returns no results - even if I put the pushed date to way back.
Also this seems to work:
'oneword anotherword+pushed:>2020-01-01'
But combining such logic just returns 0 results. Any thoughts?
