Feature request: Let Qiqqa search for relationship between two (or more) entities. #261

Often we need to find papers that have discussed the relationship between two different entities. For example,

  1. How does harvest frequency of water hyacinth affect its spread rate?
  2. How does the presence of water hyacinth in a lake affect the presence of algae?
  3. How does desilting of a lake affect its percolation rate?
  4. How does rainwater recharging affect the water table at different distances from the recharge point? (note that in this last query, the distance from recharge point is a control parameter. In other words, I am looking for a three-way relationship)

Just searching for papers that contain both phrases may not be an optimal search, because they may not be discussing the relationship between the two at all.

Desired: Provide a search mode that finds the context between the two (or more) specified entities.
