Incorrect Query - Mailing list pgsql-novice

Hi,

I'm working on an application, the user enters the customers id or their firstname or their lastname or their firstname
andlastname.  The problem is when they enter their firstname AND their lastname it returns as if you had entered either
theirfirstname OR their lastname.  I must be missing brackets somewhere, but I can't figure it out, I've tried
everythingI could think of, does anyone have any ideas?  

Query:
select person_id, initcap(firstname), initcap(lastname), dob, street, city
from person5
where person_id = ''
or ( ( firstname = initcap('sharon') )
or ( lastname = initcap('cowling') ) )
or ( ( firstname = initcap('sharon')
and lastname = initcap('cowling')  ) )
order by lastname;

Results:
 person_id | initcap | initcap  |    dob     | street  |    city
