CFQL Search method using an OR expression among multiple properties - codefluent

Question

I'm trying to ellaborate a SEARCH CFQL method.
I have either a property TownId set or a property TownLabel in the entity Address:
TownId is set if the address got affected a Town from a referential (Towns are stored in another DB and are referenced only by ID).
TownLabel is set if none of the known Towns was found. (e.g. Name of a town abroad)
In my SEARCH method I want to look for users having as a town, either the townLabel OR possible towns from the referential whoes name contains the value townLabel.
Long story short, my CFQL methods is as follow
SEARCH(string[] townIds, string townLabel) WHERE Adresses.TownId IN (#townIds) OR Adresses.TownLabel LIKE '%'+#townLabel+'%'
Despite the OR operator, the generated SQL appears with the AND operator as below.
My question: is it normal ?
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[User_AdvancedSearch]
(
#townIds [nvarchar] (max) = NULL,
#townLabel [nvarchar] (256) = NULL,
#_orderBy0 [nvarchar] (64) = NULL,
#_orderByDirection0 [bit] = 0
)
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE #sql nvarchar(max), #paramlist nvarchar(max)
SELECT #sql=
'SELECT DISTINCT [User].[User_UserId], [User].[User_Name], [User].[User_Association_AssociationId], [User].[_trackLastWriteTime], [User].[_trackCreationTime], [User].[_trackLastWriteUser], [User].[_trackCreationUser], [User].[_rowVersion]
FROM [User]
LEFT OUTER JOIN [Address] ON ([User].[User_UserId] = [Address].[Address_User_UserId])
WHERE ((1 = 1) AND (1 = 1))'
SELECT #paramlist = '#townIds nvarchar (max),
#townLabel nvarchar (256),
#_orderBy0 nvarchar (64),
#_orderByDirection0 bit'
IF #townIds IS NOT NULL
SELECT #sql = #sql + ' AND ([Address].[Address_TownId] IN ((SELECT [Item] FROM [dbo].cf_SplitString(#townIds, nchar(1)))))'
IF #townLabel IS NOT NULL
SELECT #sql = #sql + ' AND (([Address].[Address_TownLabel] LIKE ((''%'' + #townLabel) + ''%'')))'
EXEC sp_executesql #sql, #paramlist,
#townIds,
#townLabel,
#_orderBy0,
#_orderByDirection0
RETURN
GO
The schema is given below

EDIT 15/09/2016 - adding original CFQL + schema.
Original CFQL method:
SEARCH (string firstname, string name, int[] groups, string postalCode, string townLabel, string mail, string[] townId, guid structureId, guid countryId) WHERE Firstname LIKE '%'+#firstname+'%' AND Name LIKE '%'+#name+'%' AND (Address.PostalCode LIKE '%'+#postalCode+'%' OR StructureContacts.Address.PostalCode LIKE '%'+#postalCode+'%') AND ( Address.TownLabel LIKE '%'+#townLabel+'%' OR StructureContacts.Address.TownLabel LIKE '%'+#townLabel+'%' OR Address.TownId IN (#townId) OR StructureContacts.Address.TownId IN(#townId)) AND (StructureContacts.Groups.Value IN (#groups) OR Groups.Value IN (#groups)) AND StructureContacts.Structure.StructureId = #structureId and (Address.Email LIKE '%'+#mail+'%' OR StructureContacts.Address.Email LIKE '%'+#mail+'%') AND (Address.CountryId = #countryId OR StructureContacts.Address.CountryId = #countryId) order by Name, Firstname

EDIT 16/09/2016-possible workarounds found.
I found two possible workarounds:
First is to have a simpler search method with the rest of parameters (no townId, no townLabel), and to re-filter in memory with a LINQ mechanism.
Second is to go use generated code in a RAW method and adapt it to make it work the way we want.

Answer 1

Search methods are very tricky to generate. In fact, the producer must split the body of the method by parameters. Then it creates IF #param IS NOT NULL statement and combine them using an operator (by default AND). If you want to change this operator, you can add the following xml attribute at the method:
<cf:method cfps:searchOperation="OR" ... />
If you don't have too many arguments (1 or 2) you can use a LOAD method with nullable parameters:
<cf:method name="LoadNullable" body="LOAD(string text1, string text2) WHERE Name = #text1 AND Name = #text2">
<cf:parameter nullable="True" name="text1" modelNullable="False" />
</cf:method>
The generated code looks like:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[Customer_LoadNullable]
(
#text1 [nvarchar] (256) = NULL,
#text2 [nvarchar] (256)
)
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
IF(#text1 IS NULL)
BEGIN
SELECT [Customer].[Customer_Id], [Customer].[Customer_Name]
FROM [Customer]
WHERE ([Customer].[Customer_Name] = #text2)
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SELECT [Customer].[Customer_Id], [Customer].[Customer_Name]
FROM [Customer]
WHERE (([Customer].[Customer_Name] = #text1) AND ([Customer].[Customer_Name] = #text2))
END
This way you don't have any issue with the OR and AND, but this is not suitable for methods with many nullable parameters.
