There are two buttons in the top of the Search Criteria pane. The left button allows you to add another criteria row to search for multiple criteria. The existing criteria row needs to be completed before adding a new row. The right button is used to Search for items where all criteria are met or Search for items where any criteria are met. The all criteria are met search requires all of the criteria rows to have at least one match. The any criteria are met search requires only one of the criteria rows to be matched.

The criteria row is used to combine different criteria buttons. The following table describes the possible button combinations (regex means regular expression search);

The Account button performs a search where the accounts selected in the Choose Accounts dialog will both be searched individually for results. This means that a match in any of the selected accounts will either be displayed (matches any account) or discarded (matches no account).

The All Accounts button performs a search where accounts selected in the Choose Accounts dialog will only return results that match in both accounts.

There are four selections in the Type of Search pane. When a new search is started only the New Search button is selectable. The other buttons become selectable only when the Search Results register window is visible.
