That's what I routinely do and I have had good luck with that procedure. ("Good luck" means a manageable number of returned threads.)

When I open one of the returned threads, each occurrence of any of the search terms is highlighted, even if two or more search terms are enclosed in one set of quotation marks. Apparently the algorithm that searches for threads to return is different from the algorithm that highlights search terms.
