I've tried to use biblio_db_search() with OR as operator but biblio module still acts like I set the operator as AND.
The function call I've tried is like biblio_db_serach("inline","keyword","drupal","or","keyword,"qazBOB"). Thus instead serching for biblios witch keyword is drupal or qazBOB, it search for biblios who have both of this keywords.

As it is now that "or" would be ignored. Although this seems straight forward, it is actually a bit tricky, but I have been looking at ways to achieve this and will implement this capability sometime soon.

Hi, I've solved. I have modified the biblio_db_search(), now it's possible to combine the use of ANDs and ORs also in the same query.

In attachment the biblio_db_search() that I've modified.

I'll revisit this since I'm looking at db_search function right now in 6.x

I'm assuming this is fixed in 6.x and 7.x branches, and 5.x is no longer supported.
Edit: I see it's still an issue in D6: #1273484: OR_clause in the biblio_db search function of the biblio module, but leaving status as won't fix for 5.x.
