What happens, when you run the same program directly from the windows
explorer, without using MEditor? If you try that, I believe it will
answer the question.

I believe, you are talking about the search tool on the RDS website
rather than that one on the Topica website, right?
Currently, if you search for more than one word on the RDS website,
AFAIK the search is performed by automatically applying a Boolean OR
to all the words.

Rob, I also think it would be very useful, if the user at least had the
choice between applying OR or applying AND. This is my wish for
Christmas. blink
The more the mailing list database grows, the more this becomes
important. Normally its not the problem to find just anything, but to
look for a needle in a haystack.
