Yes, that's right.

  -w word1 AND word2   # boolean AND
  -w word1 word2       # default is boolean AND
  -w word1 and word2   # same -- case does not matter

Or do you me with actual quotes?

  -w '"word1 and word2"'

in that case the "and" is not a boolean operator because it's in quotes 
as part of that phrase.
