The technical details of how search works are [in the MySQL manual](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/fulltext-boolean.html), which includes a full list of operators. The short version: we use a MySQL FULLTEXT index for search, which gets us some useful things for free. How you express your search depends on exactly what you're searching for. You could search for `+rain +gear`, which would match posts that include both words (but not necessarily together), or you could search for `"rain gear"`, which would match posts that contain that phrase exactly.
