easy question i hope

[Caspar Bl]

hi i need to strip out some boolean operators from search input
this is what i need to remove
params[:search_input].gsub!(/AND|OR|&&|||/,'')
it all works except for || which i suppose is because it is interpreted
as meaning or nothing or nothing. so how can i remove the || from the
input?
regards
