You could transform your search terms so that there is the "&"
separator between them. (& stands for "AND").
E.g. "handicrafts exporter" becomes "handicrafts&exporter"
And then
select * from <your table> where idxfti @@ to_tsquery(<searchterms>);

where idxfti is your tsvector column.

E.g.
# SELECT to_tsvector('handycrafts exporters') @@ to_tsquery('handycraft&exporting');?column?
----------t
(1 row)
