Perhaps you should try some spelling variations:
swash » slash, awash
swath » spath, swanh, seath, stath
smash » slash
swat » swan, seat, stat
sweat » sweet, swept
sat » salt, satz
-plate" » -place"
plates" » places"

You may be able to get more results by adjusting your search query.

• If you are trying to use Boolean operators, they must be ALL CAPS: "(((swash or swath) or smash) or (((swat OR sweat) or sat) or spot))(-plate" OR -(plates" or places")).
• Removing quotes may allow a broader search: (((swash or swath) or smash) or (((swat OR sweat) or sat) or spot))(-plate or -(plates or places )).
• Adding a wildcard symbol may retrieve word variants: "(((swash or swath) or smash) or (((swat OR sweat) or sat) or spot))(-plate" or -(plates" or places"))*.
