Support "AND" for Topics Search

Sherman Wilcox
suggested this on Jan 25 19:54

So I see that if I shift-select more than one topic in the "Favorite Topics" panel, the resulting search is for ANY of the topics. In the Advanced Search dialog I can do a search for ALL (find messages that contain all of the selected topics). It would nice to be able to do this in the Advanced Topics panel, though -- much more convenient. 

Is this possible?

Hi Wilcox, 

I was confused about what you were asking for here. You can add multiple topics via the advanced search panel to the right of the search box.

Sorry. Yes, I see that I can add multiple topics in the advanced search box. I was wondering if it's possible to search for "topic 1 AND topic 2" using the "Favorite Topics" panel on the left side of the main message view, by cmd-selecting multiple topics. When I try this, the resulting search is for "topic 1 OR topic 2."

Hello, I have the same query as Wilcox. I want to be able to search multiple topics for "topic 1 AND topic 2". Thank you for your quick answer or update.

Wilcox, we only support the one mode of search, which is OR.  We may decide to also support AND in a future release.   In the meantime, I'll move this topic over to the Ideas and Feature Requests Forum.

Any boolean search operators too, like OR and commas, etc...
