"Nested" boolean expressions?

Hi everyone!

Quick introduction. I'm from Argentina and I'm CEO of Top Seeded, a start-up I founded recently. I recently joined the group which I've been following for months. Hope I can contribute!

I was wondering the other day if LinkedIn deals with "nested parentheses" in boolean expressions just to put a name to it.

For example,

( (term1 OR term2) (term3 OR term4) term5) term6

I'm also an Oracle Developer so in PL/SQL you can reduce parenthesis in conditional expressions so I asked myself if LinkedIn could handle this. Of course the example could be reduced to this:

(term1 OR term2) (term3 OR term4) term5 term6

But... what if the expression I'm trying to write looks like this...

( (term1 OR term2) (term3 OR term4) term5) OR term6

I know it's very specific but is there any scenario where this could happen? Being a developer, the technique this approach for a LinkedIn search is quite straightforward but I can't think of a real example in LinkedIn. In fact, I tried a few examples in LinkedIn but I'm not sure about the results.

Any thoughts on these? Have anyone tried this before?

Thank you very much in advance!

Leonardo
