I have 3 criteria that I want to combine as a "must contain", but a couple of them have "ORs" included.

I want to look for (must contain): business case or plan
and (must contain): midwest

as well as

include these companies: TTP or Mechanism Design or Tempered Sales or MDCo

So, I want results that contain files that have all 3 criteria. Something like this:

Business case blah blah blah midwest blah blah blah TTP
Business plan blah blah blah midwest blah blah blah Mechanical Design

I almost get what I'm trying for, but something is ALWAYS flawed. I have tried many varying query strings where my output was either with no search results at all (even though the query string was valid) or it doesn't apply the +++ and I have 100s of thousands of results because it gave 1 or 2 out of the 3.

Thank you for any input and your help is greatly appreciated! :-) ]]>
