By default, if the user enters x y
to search, Verity treats it as a phrase. You can modify their search by changing any space to a comma. So "x y" becomes "x,y". Although I think you want an AND search, so you could simply change any space to " AND ". You can see more on this in the CF Dev Guide, chapter 28, Using Verity Search Expressions. Specifically the section "Using simple queries."
