Hello

Is there any way I can do compound string search ?

I have a folder of a 1000 messages. I search (;ta) for string:  lang 
1) I search (;ta) for string:  lang
2) Then I 'zoom'
3) Then at this point I would like to do further string search
   for other strings.... is it possible?

Is ';' recursive? How far can I go extracting strings from

Thanks,
Farid

You will note that once you have selected some messages, the prompt
on the next select ";" command will change and offer you the choice
to Unselect, Broaden or Narrow your selection. Narrow is basically
an AND (it will exclude some selected messages) and Broaded is an OR
( it will include more messages in the selected group. )

Use ; again, followed by "N"arrow Selection.
