What is the correct way to enter multiple words into the field for "Has the words"?

Depends what you're searching for :)

To search for an exact phrase, use quotation marks:

"phone Bob"

To search for multiple words (where both words must be found):

phone Bob

Hope this helps!

Heya Emily. Thanks for such a speedy response. It makes total sense but one more question though.

Let say I want to search the following (a) and (b) - both actually in brackets, what do I do?

Sorry for such a screwy question but before tags were brought in I use to put stuff in brackets to make things easily searchable.

As it stands it seems to bring up whatever is in the first bracket but not the second.

Any pointers? Thanks again!

Ah, this doesn't seem to be working correctly because brackets are also used to group search terms -- we'll fix this up so that it's possible to search for multiple brackets like that.

In the meantime, you could do this search by typing it directly into the search box:

name:"(a)" AND name:"(b)"

(More details on advanced search queries are available in the help section here.)
