"and" search+discussion

I'm going to answer this a little pedantically in an attempt to "give the rod", not the fish.

First, you shouldn't the "and" here.  The search above is equivalent to

{"type":"Company", "refer_to":"_1"}

So at this point the question becomes, which of those two is causing the problem.

My guess is that if you did just this:

{"type":"Company"}

then bp would be returned, but if you did just this:

{"refer_to":"_1"}

Then you would get not BP, but something like "BP+Industry tags".  So the search you're looking for is more like:

{"type":"Company", "right_plus":["Industry tags", {"refer_to":"_1"}]}

...or, if you wanted any plus card, you could do:

{"type":"Company", "right_plus":[{}, {"refer_to":"_1"}]}

great, thanks for the detail, Ethan!
