I'm having some trouble envisioning what you are trying to accomplish.

Normally, I think of "search string" as just a string with some 
different words, which I then parse.  JComboBox seems the opposite of 
this concept.  Why use a JComboBox for search?  That seems to be the 
most likely error here, using an inappropriate Swing component.

Second, what do you mean by "one by one word."  That phrase really isn't 
semantic in English.  Do you mean "one word at a time?"

For searching, you don't.  You let the user enter enter their big search 
string, then you parse it, probably breaking it up into words (or 
"tokens") as you go.

   String exampleSearch = "This is an example search string.";

   // break the above into 6 "words"

   String[] tokens = exampleSearch.split( " " );

So there's some questions and some example code for you.
