Search function discards "common words"

This is very annoying. Let's say I want to find information about a specific topic related to Eastman jackets, so I enter "blah blah eastman" and select "search for all terms or use query as entered." Well, the search results say that eastman has been ignored because it's a common word. Well, maybe, but it's critical to getting the correct results. How can search be forced to include a specific word?

Thanks, that works in regard to including all words. I poked around in the online PHPBB documentation and forums, and as far as I can tell, there's no way to search for an exact string ("blah blah eastman" in that exact sequence of letters).
