Select a Boolean search, and add + to each word. http://bugs.mysql.com/search.php?search_for=%2Bleft+%2Bjoin&boolean=on&cmd=display&status=...

But that's not obvious at all. There's no search help on the site. Or do you mean people are supposed to know what boolean mode means because they use MySql's fulltext search capabilities and because you use the capability to search bugs on your site (again, who knows that?) so they know what boolean mode means and that they ashould add "+" before each word to make it AND. I guess you should have a search help page there. I never used fulltext searches - just didn't have to - and I think far not eveybody did, so they may have no idea of the underlying capabilitites of your search page. And they should as successful searching for a bug prevents reporting a duplicate one.

Especially misleading is the text "with ANY of the words" - it makes one believe there's no way to search for ALL of the words.

I agree, a little text describing this "boolean mode" will not hurt. (at least, a link to http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/fulltext-boolean.html)

There is a link to information on the Boolean mode operators now.
