If I want to match searches where the exact phrase "X Y" is in the search, as well as the word Z (only if BOTH) how do I do it?

i.e. for x=Interesting y=Widgets z=WidgetWorld
match : WidgetWorld from Interesting Widgets
don't match : Interesting WidgetWorld Widgets
don't match : Interesting Widgets

"Interesting Widgets" WidgetWorld
gives an error of broken punctuation

Try this - not very sure whether it works or not -

widgetworld from interesting widgets
-[interesting widgetworld widgets]
-[interesting widgets]

That is, use a combination of negative and exact (or phrase) matched keywords.

After you upload the keyword, do a search test just to be sure.

nope, doesn't work... it seems the matching is rather inflexible?
