When an index is present, the Lucene syntax is used. We might add the 
radio buttons back or construct a search wizard/constructor at some 
point (ala BibleWorks), but the same functionality is still present in 
Lucene syntax itself. Please see the link that Troy included in his 
announcement for further details: 
http://jakarta.apache.org/lucene/docs/queryparsersyntax.html

To require all three words in "lord jesus christ", you can construct a 
query as either "+lord +jesus +christ" or "lord AND jesus AND christ" or 
"lord && jesus && christ".

We may want to write up a Lucene syntax tutorial and post it when we 
release.
