MoRU - Spotlight done right
Authored by: bkemper on Mar 03, '06 09:11:04AM
Insofar as and/or search queries, my understanding is that is the search Spotlight defaults to. If I type "bob ray" (without the quotes) spotlight will search for docs that have bob in them, ray in them, and both bob and ray in them.
If you are correct, then the author may have had it backwards, but the point is the same: you end up with too many irrelevant results that way. If you just want documents with both "bob" and "ray" in them, what do you do? What if you want documents with either "bob" or "ray", but that also must include "Carol"?

I just did this using standard smart search features and duplicated the results in MoRU.

Step 1:
Kind = others (specifically, "Microsoft Entourage message pointer" thanks to the new 11.2.3 update!).

Step 2:
Contents = a|b c

This gave me 56 Entourage e-mails that contained either "a" OR "b" in the content AND "c"

When I created the smart group in MoRU to do the same, I got 56 e-mails.

I am not saying that MoRU isn't a good product, I just saw this as a challenge to figure out if I could do this!

Best.

Now, how to do "a" or "b" without "c" ?
