Can I use booleans (AND, OR) in Thunderbird's quick filter field?

Is there a way to use in Thunderbird's quick filter bar to use Boolean filters (like AND, OR, NOT)?

I would like to be able to (for example) search on emails send by either Joe OR Jane. See below for an example, which obviously doesn't work.

enter image description here

Note: I don't want to use the "search all messages" options (wonky, slow interface) or "Saved Searches" feature (too cumbersome for one-off searches). So there is no point in suggestion these as a workaround.

Note 2: This is kind of a generalization of my earlier question " Inverse Thunderbird's Quick filter selection? ".

Full expression searching (including subtraction) is available through an add-on:

Simply use | as OR operation resp. a space character as AND operation.
