How can the keyword section utilize the AND Boolean search function?

Givens, A 0

Hello. I'm trying to run searches in Purview and want it to search for 'object1' AND 'object2', but the search results only produce searches with the OR function. How can I manipulate the keyword search bar to reflect either combining keywords or searching for multiple keywords using the AND function? Thanks!

As long as you used uppercase AND, it should be treated as the AND boolean operator. If you are using the new experience, it can be a bit misleading, basically you need to add the keywords condition, equals, object1 AND object2. Switching to the KQL editor or the old experience should make things clearer, at least in my opinion.
