Concatenate and Split Queries
When searching for multiple words, a search is also done on the concatenation of those words. When concatenation is done on a search query containing multiple words, it will concatenate the words following each other. Thus, the first and third words will not be concatenated without the second word.
Example
A search on will also search for the following concatenated queries:

This concatenation is done on a maximum of 3 words.
Split Queries
When you do a search, it applies the splitting algorithm to every word (string separated by a space).
This is achieved by finding the best frequency of the separate words in the dictionary of all words in the dataset. It will look out that both words have a minimum of interesting results, and not just one of them.
Split words are not considered as multiple words in a search query because they must stay next to each other, this behavior is called Phrase Queries.
