I like option B because you also get to close
#69628 Need to advertise "OR"/"|" operator for searches

It also makes it easier to fix this bug
#660283 Bug search pages should document valid search expressions

PS. Maybe these bugs are fixable now
#29227 Full text search only understands whitespace as a word seperator
#56244 Can't search for phrases in bug reports
#111956 Cannot search for identifier containing underscores
