  Hi Jim,

  There is no support for AND searching using the forum search tool. You can search for an exact string by enclosing it in quotes though (this is brand new functionality, before we only had pure OR, even if you quoted your query).

  Hi Mike,

  Thanks for the quick response.   I hope that Microsoft will continue to upgrade the forum search tool.   It's great exact-string match is working, and I'd vote for logical AND as the next important upgrade that would help lots of us make good use of the forum.   After logical AND, my next vote would be logical NOT.

  Cheers, you're welcome.

  There's a thread going in the Suggestions forum with plenty more requests for updates to the search tool. You may want to add your voice there too:
