If you put the search term in quotes, it will only return exact matches. As an example, I am building a signed 1961 Fleer set. When I search for 1961 Fleer, i get 65 results including listings that include only one of the two words. When I search for "1961 Fleer", I only get 5 results and they all include that exact phrase in that order.

Alternately, if an exact phrase is problematic, you can put both words in quotes separately and it will return results somewhere in the middle. Searching for "Fleer" "1961" returned 10 results.
