Say you want to search for Han Solo and Chewbacca. Try this in your search field:

Han Solo +Chewbacca

You mean:

"Han Solo" +Chewbacca

otherwise "Han" and "Solo" will match separately (not that it's likely
to matter in this case). In fact:

Yes it didn't matter but you are correct.
"Han Solo" Chewbacca

would do exactly the same thing, since "Chewbacca" is not a common term
(such as "a", "the", "and" etc.) which would otherwise be supressed.

Yes in this case the plus sign does little, the imagination is key here to get the most out of your search, it was just the first thing that came to mind and it was simple. Usually I have found the minus sign to be more useful. I didn't mention the suppression of common terms , thanks for pointing that out.
