Why is this Site Dropping Search Terms?

I use Advanced Search, with AND between every two terms, because Standard Search and Advanced Search without AND drop search terms.

Now Advanced Search with AND also drops search terms, making it impossible to search for relevant questions.

Try using a + instead of AND in your query. You also can quote phrases so they are searched together.

"microsoft word" + drag + drop
