Searching threads for 2+ words together

Can you search threads for 2+ words together ??

When I search for 2 words it finds posts with those 2 words anywhere in the post, but not necessarily together.

Can you specify somehow the words have to be together, like in other search engines.

eg. "january sales"
or january+sales

or some other way, maybe specific to MSE ??

I usually just put + between the words. If you want a thread title with 2 specific words rather than posts - use the advanced search and under where you put type the key words, click the drop down box to select 'search titles only'.

Hope that helps

Not exactly what I'm after.

That just finds the 2 words anywhere in a post, even if they are separated from each other.

I want to find a phrase with the 2 words next to each other.
