I am trying to get the search to work with multiple terms, I am aware of the fix here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-search-everything-search-multiple-terms?replies=12#post-2442123 however that allows you to search for multiple terms in one field, I need multiple terms in all the fields.

For example a post:
Title: Tee Shirt
Content: This is a nice shirt
Custom Field Colour: Red
Custom Field Material: Cotton

Search for [Tee Shirt] finds the product -> success
Search for [nice shirt] finds the product -> success
Search for [Cotton] finds the product -> success
Search for [Red Shirt] does not find the product -> failure
Search for [cotton Shirt] does not find the product -> failure
Search for [red cotton] does not find the product -> failure
Search for [red cotton shirt] does not find the product -> failure

As you can see, it's not ideal so is there a fix for this?
