Re: [ysearchboss] Re: can i search by keyterm?

Try wrapping each query part in quotes

"apple pie" "convection oven"

i want to find the intersection of the 2 queries "apple pie" and "convection oven", not 2 separate queries. in other words, i want to be able to get all the pages that are relevant to both "apple pie" *and* "convection oven."  is it possible to stitch these into one search string?  alternatively, can i do one search then refine it?

thanks again,
dino
