Just set the positionIncrementGap for the multivalued field to a much
higher value, like 1000 or 5000. That's the purpose of this attribute, to
assure that reasonable proximity matches don't match across multiple values.
Also, leave "AND" out of the query phrases - you're just trying to match
the product name and availability.
