[FILLSRCH]
SEARCH CRITERIA ENTRY
Fill in a text string to use in the search. This string may
contain spaces and the search is case-insensitive (e.g., "CAT"
find "cat").
To search for more than one string at a time, separate the
search strings with a backslash "\".
Soundex searching is requested by proceeding a search string
with an apersand "&". The soundexing algorithm is very "loose",
so soundexing should be used only on longer words (not OS/2, but
Windows will work nicely).
Example: CTOS\&windows\OS/2
will find all messages containing either the text "CTOS", "OS/2"
or anything that "sounds like" windows (i.e., windoze will match).
