You are right, there is currently no way.

The matter used to be, that searching for, say, "3Com 4500G PWR
48-port" is in fact searching for each of the words, which the phrase
consists of. This very quickly makes the list of "matched" items too
long. Could you suggest any other designs of this new search? I (as
a user) would also be glad to see it implemented one day.
