See "Connection" in the glossary. For example, instead of a non-stop flight from LAX to LHR, instead you have three flights - LAX to DFW, DFW to JFK, JFK to LHR. With the connections, you earn three segments instead of one and also earn more miles.
Open Jaw is something different as explained by CDKing, where you do not return to the same place you started from, or you have a segment that you do not use the air ticket to cover.

You can use a tool such as google.com/flights to look for flights.
