How to Search Google AdWords Keyword Tool

Having to learn the keyword tool from scratch

Bleh. As a publisher, I'm used to the search based keyword tool and know practically nil about the old or new regular AdWords tool. So now I'm trying to learn it since the other is going away. I've spent hours trying to figure out how to replicate the kinds of search results I got in the search based tool.

What I want to do is find all keyword phrases that contain

blue
AND
widgets

but not just that, but ones that aren't particular about order, like:

widget miscellaneousterm blue
or
blue miscellaneousterm widget
or
blue miscellaneousterm in a big widget

But I don't want any results that don't include both terms.

Every setting I've tried, broad, exact, phrase, all keyword ideas, ideas containing my search terms, putting terms in quotes, brackets, entering the terms on the same line, different lines, whatever - none of the permutations will return just keywords that contain both the words blue and widgets, not in any particular order, without other stuff thrown in.

What am I doing wrong? Or is this search not possible anymore?

I've torn through AdWords help trying to figure it out, especially this page, [adwords.google.com...]
but can't seem to find it.

Help, please?

Oops. I probably should have put this in the keyword forum:

Bump - is there a way that anyone knows? Or should I, as the Man in Black said to Inigo Montoya, get used to disappointment?

I can't see how you can do that anymore. The only workaround I can think of, which would be far from perfect, would be to search the tool on one of your terms, and then download the data into excel or similar and filter the results to show only the phrases that feature both your words?

Thanks, Spyglass. I missed your response.
