Privateer Press Forum Search, Boolean Operators, and a Workaround Option

So, I love Privateer Press (PP). No surprise. Great customer service. Great company to volunteer for. Great merchandise. There is, however, one thing I would change: the search functionality on their forums.

At present, each of the multi-keyword searches done on the PP forums behaves as an "or search" as I like to call them. This means "apple orange carrot" produces results containing "apple" or "orange" or "carrot". Not all three. If PP would turn on boolean operators for searching, it would be so nice.

A quick explanations of boolean operators and logic for the programming-impaired follows the cut.
