Yes. 


If you do this without using quotation marks, your terms will be searched as though they have an implicit Boolean operator AND between them. This means that each term typed must appear somewhere in the results records. 


If you were to type flavor taste in a search box, each result would have both words in it. Consequently, you would get fewer results than had you searched either one of the terms on its own.


The most effective way to combine search terms in the IFIS Collections platform is to use the Add term function and Update your results, as shown in the two simple steps outlined below:


Step 1: Enter your FIRST search term and click 'Update'.
