Description
When I search for concepts using multiple words I am getting fewer results when using a simpler search.
Example (using Read V3):
"fracture spine" returns 4 concepts
"fracture of spine" returns 292 concepts
I'm not sure if this is intentional (if it is this would fit issue #359 ), but normally I would expect the first search to turn up all the results of the second search.

Research direction
Reproduce the two searches in Read V3: "fracture spine" and "fracture of spine", and compare their result counts. First determine whether the difference is intentional or related to issue #359; done means the search behavior matches the agreed expectation for multi-word queries.
