Thanks for your response. If I do as you suggested, a subject match will 
return all the messages in that thread (because they all match). I want the 
search results to only contain one result if there's a thread match. 

I suppose I could just grab all the results and then 'collapse' the thread 
matches, but I was hoping to be able to do something better.

Thanks,
Mark
