We have implemented a new feature where the search functionality automatically switches the default query operator from AND to OR when the hit count is below a specified threshold (query.orsearch.min.hit.count). This ensures that users receive more comprehensive search results when their initial query returns too few results.

Implementation Details:

• Added a constant DEFAULT_QUERY_OPERATOR in Constants.java.
• Updated SearchHelper.java to re-execute the search with OR operator if the initial hit count is below query.orsearch.min.hit.count.
• Introduced configuration keys QUERY_ORSEARCH_MIN_HIT_COUNT and related methods in FessConfig.java.
• Modified QueryParser.java to set the default operator based on the request attribute DEFAULT_QUERY_OPERATOR.
