[bioontology-support] Any suggestions for improving concept search results from the new API?

In past, I was seeing good search results (5 hits) when searching NCI
Thesaurus (including Properties) with terms like the following: "history
and physical".
With the new backend, this search now returns 0 results.
A few other searches I've tried also offer fewer matches than before. For
example "Tretinoin Cytarabine" used to return 7 results, now returns 0.
It seems to me like, in the past, it did a simple AND. And now maybe it
only matches contiguous text (eg. like doing a google search with " "
around the phrase)?
Is there a new syntax to match two non-contiguous words (ignoring order)
when they appear in the same concept name/description?
Any other ideas for me?
thanks,
