Perhaps you should try some spelling variations:
swash » swath, smash
slash » flash, clash, slas
awash » wash, akash, arash
spath » xpath, spate, spanh, spoth, spamh
spat » span, spot, spam
-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 slash) OR awash) OR spath) OR (spat OR path))(-plate OR -plates ).
• The words AND, OR and NOT may confuse the search; try adding quotes: "((((swash OR slash) or awash) or spath) or (spat or path))(-plate or -plates )".
• Adding a wildcard symbol may retrieve word variants: ((((swash OR slash) or awash) or spath) or (spat or path))(-plate or -plates )*.
