Advanced Search

How do you do an advanced search on Lit? For example, if I am searching for the term anal sex, do I type:

"anal sex"
"anal" *and* "sex*
anal *and* sex

or is there another, correct way to do this?

Just put in "anal sex" without the quotes and it'll match all your search terms.

"anal sex" WITH the quotes would match those two words together (I believe)

anal and sex would be the same as the first one

anal or sex would return a lot of results

Anal sex without the quotes yeilds posts with anal and sex that sometimes together (I like ANAL SEX) and others with both words win different places (I like SEX, but not ANAL).

Thanks... any other opinions?
