To specify words or phrases

  1. Type a word, part of a word, or a phrase in the Specify words or phrases to search for field. Since the search function uses substring to match words in the message body, you can search for a root word and it will find variations of that word. For example, search for "cancel" would match on "canceled", "cancelling" or "Cancels". You can also use wildcards for single (?) or multiple characters (*).  For example, to search for similar model numbers with one digit and letter difference you can use a question mark such as ATT?1?00.

  2. Press the Add button.

  3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for define other search words or phrases as needed. To remove unwanted entries from the Search List, press the Remove button.

  4. When you are finished, press OK to close the dialog.
