When search result does not contain the search text, user receives a suggestion You may create the page "$1" (MediaWiki:Searchmenu-new)
When the search text contains 'AND', 'OR', 'NOT' written in capital letters at the beginning or in the middle (but not in the end) this suggestion does not appear.
This was discovered in Ukrainian Wikipedia for "AMANDA " but is being watched elsewhere.

Good catch. Since this doesn't really affect too much, the priority is very low for us to fix, however.
there might be a few more edge cases that could be looked into, various ways to use AND within a query (perhaps inside phrases?). Handling simple word boundaries probably covers the 99% use case though and would be sufficient.
annoyingly it looks like we also consider AND inside quotations to also be query_string syntax, although it isn't ... not sure it's worth handling properly though as it will be a bit of a pain
