"Ford and v8" - Results will have both "Ford" and "v8" within its contents but may not be sequential as per previous example.
"Ford or Holden and v8" - Results found will contain "v8" and also contain either "Ford" or "Holden".

You may also use wildcards represented by an asterisks. For example:

"Turbo*" - will find all documents that contain words like "Turbocharged", "Turbo-Diesel".
"Ford and v*" - Results will have both "Ford" and any word that has "V", so you may find documents about Volvo that mention Ford.
