Keyword Search
I was looking for a movie and was using the Keyword Search.
After searching for a specific keyword which returned thousands of entries I was given the opportunity to refine my search with a huge list of additional keywords. Unfortunately, the list was not ordered alphabetically but in usage order. This makes it extremely difficult to refine my search having no idea how many movies contain the secondary keyword I needed next. Having the list in alphabetical order would be preferable making the search user-friendly rather than statistically-friendly.

As a workaround, if you know which keyword you want to add to the search, you can select any keyword and then manually edit the URL.

Peter is right. Manually replacing the keywords within the URL is your best option. I do this all the time in my searches.
If the system displayed every combination keyword alphabetically like you're suggesting, the list could be thousands of keywords long.
If you know which two keywords you want to search for, you can search for one of them, select a second keyword, then replace that keyword with the actual second keyword you want to search for.
For example, here is a search for "falling from height" and "corpse":
https://www.imdb.com/search/keyword/?keywords=corpse%2Cfalling-from-height
If you actually want to search for "falling from height" and "ocean" you just replace "corpse" with "ocean" in the URL:
https://www.imdb.com/search/keyword/?keywords=ocean%2Cfalling-from-height
