Many Ways to Search a Cat
Authored by: jonsey on Nov 30, '07 02:07:05AM

I'm finding Mail 3.1 (Leopard 10.5.1) to appropriately respond to this type of search. So it looks like the new Spotlight features are implemented in Mail.

I tried from:john subject:"Next Meeting" (I had a handful with "Next Meeting" in the subject, but I changed the from name since I didn't have one from John. But it did work properly I also tried a few other combinations all of which worked.

Sweet!

No, it's not a full implementation, and not even as powerful as the smart mailbox editor. What you used there acts as an AND search only (at least the editor offers either AND or OR), and you can't use boolean operators (AND, OR etc) as you can in Spotlight.
