tilde on a required term

[basement_addict]

How would I go about disabling equivs on a required term

select ... where ... likep '+HRIS other terms'

HRIS in this query is a reguired term but I need it to disable equivs on it but keep equivs on the other terms in the query.

I tried ~+HRIS but it seemed to take a really long time.

Thanks

Logic operators go first so it would be
+~HRIS
