The Crypt search lets you choose whether to search the Full Text of each message, or only the short Title. If you know a word was in the title, this is much faster and eliminates many incorrect results. You can limit the number of matching messages that are displayed. The search will return messages containing any of the keywords you list, unless you specify additional boolean logic. You can List all the search results as single lines, or show a short Preview of each matching message. Results can be sorted by: how well they match the search request, newest first, or oldest first.

Note: Words that contain numeric digits cannot be searched. eg: R1-98, 1-800 etc. Also, only words with three (3) letters or more can be searched for.

Search Logic

You can create complex searches by using boolean logic (AND, OR, NOT).
AND means that both of the words must be included,
OR means that either of two words may be included,
and NOT requires that a single word must not be present. Parenthesis "()" may be used to group logic elements. See these examples:

To find messages that mention both Geothermal and Solar, use Geothermal AND Solar

To find a message that definitely had Geothermal in it, but may have had Solar or Wind, use: Geothermal AND (Solar OR Wind)

To find a message that had a phone number in it, try Phone OR Number

To find a message that had a phone number in it, but not for Phil, try Phone OR Number AND NOT Phil - or - (Phone OR Number) AND (NOT Phil) they are both the same.
