Yes, typing "barn wall" gets you to four threads, one of which is the one you want.
If you search for "barn" only or if you search for "wall" only you get a much longer list. That being the case, I guess you can say searching for "barn wall" worked.
I agree that it worked better. It reduced the list from many to only four. But two of those four do NOT contain the character string "barn wall". These two contain somewhere in the text the words barn and wall but not the character string "barn wall".
It is for this reason I say the search did not work properly.
On this simple example, the issue is really a small one but on more complex searches (for longer character strings) you can be left with many false returns.
BTW, if you do an advanced search for [author = nick] and [key word = barn wall] - you get the one correct return.
