No, as it turns out I'm beginning to realize that there may not be a solution for this *exact* situation. I actually found the email in question by specifying a date range (resulting in a much smaller number of hits) and then looking at all that returned from the search. Examining *that* email I saw that "onco" was a part of a string something like "oncomedicine". Knowing that, I asked myself how I could have set up the search parameters to have found only the email which contained "oncomedicine while still searching only for "onco".

It was a real-life question, but the solution could/would be used in future searches. -- Regards, Jack LaRosa Central Alabama USA Using TB! 6.0.12 OS: Windows 10 ________________________________________________ Current version is 7.1 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
