Hey all

Thought I'd come in here 'cause I'm really not sure where to post this. It's a Boolean search and I can't figure out how to do it.

So - I'm looking for "bag" OR "window" OR "chair" (inspired, I know).

But I want to exclude anything with "hand bag" OR "window seat" UNLESS it also contains one or more of "bag" OR "window" OR "chair" as standalone terms.

How do I do this? I can't think of a way!? And it really seems like it should be do-able.

I'm not even sure where else I can ask this, so recommendations on that would also be gratefully received.
