Hi Victor,
 VL>  What I would find very useful would be the addition of 
 VL> at least an "and/or" option to limit or expand the search.

 VL> Craft" and others as "Warcraft."  It'd be nice to be

I think you may need to look a bit closer at the supplied Maximus Message and 
File searching capabilities, the "and/or" option certainly is there, and it 
can be stacked in a number of ways. IMHO, the real problem is that many users 
(and some sysops) simply do not understand how these types of searches really 
work and as a result they end up with logically invalid searches that will 
NEVER find what they are looking for...
 VL> wasn't the best example, but it's the best I could come 
 VL> up with right now.  I know that I've had users ask if 
 VL> it was possible to search for two things at one time.  
 VL> The answer is "no," unless I've missed something real 
 VL> obvious. 
I think perhaps you may have, the supplied Maximus search can actually have 
multiple searches being performed at once, provided you drive the search 
engine correctly (and I even stuff it up at times...).
 VL>         I hope that explains what I mean a little 
 VL> better.  It wasn't meant as a criticism, but only as a 
 VL> suggestion for a possible enhancement.  I know I would 
 VL> really appreciate it!  8-)  BTW, I wonder if it could 
 VL> be done in MEX.  I wouldn't doubt it.
Perhaps the way many people could be helped here is by providing a customised 
version of the search that performs a search for xxx OR yyy, it sounds like 
this option is one of the most likely to be required. This should only 
require a little MEX coding to arrange.
I hope this helps...........pk.
