Plain terms find posts containing all of them. Add connectors (&, OR, /s, /p, /5, %, "…", !) for a Terms & Connectors search — spaces then mean OR.

Example searches

royalty /s underpayment — terms in the same sentence
"post-production costs" /p deduct! — phrase in the same paragraph as deduct, deducted, deduction…
fraud & (operator OR lessee) % arbitration — fraud and either party term, excluding arbitration posts
breach +5 contract — breach preceding contract within 5 words
