Oh my, I am starting to type like a monkey, this gets really  
embarrassing.
Let me try again:

Hi Pete,

since the TODO part in match views was only implemented very late,
the logic is unfortunately a bit strange:  "/" has the
lowest priority, and only one such operator is allowed.

For your particular case, there is still a way to write this:

"Office|LaptopS/NEXT"

It really should be the other way round, with "|" as the lowest
priority, and more than two terms allowed. :-(

With a speed penalty, you can also write

"Office+TODO=\"NEXT\"|LaptopS+TODO=\"NEXT\""

which uses the property access to TODO keywords.

A generalized logic is on my list, just like Lisp forms for
searches, and so many other things....
