Combine Searches

If you ran two (or more) separate searches you want to combine (out of the Headings, for example), this can be done using your Search History. Anything currently in the search boxes will be added, so make sure those are empty if that is not your intention. Select the searches you want to combine and click Search with AND to look for both.
