Search within e-mails and other applications

[ATSrl]

Hi all,
Sorry for the banal question, but searching within emails, the address book and generally in any EGW application allows you to use a string, but it doesn’t seem to allow sophisticated searches, such as searching for item1 and item2, for example, in the subject line of the email regardless of the order and whether there are additional strings between them.
Filters, on the other hand, allow sophisticated searches using regex.
Is there any way to perform more advanced searches?
Suggestions are welcome.

All EGroupware apps, with the exception of mail (!), use the following search-syntax:
A B: contains A or contains B
A or B: contains A or contains B
A and B: contains A and contains B
A +B: contains A and contains B
A -B: contains A, but NOT B
(Works also with more then 2 arguments.)

Mail is the exception, as what ever you type into the search field is send directly to the IMAP server. I’m not aware IMAP allows for more sophisticated combinations of search patterns.
