Just hit \ and then type your search phrase and it will search the body of messages. Not sure whether it will also search subjects. But you can explicitly search them by doing subject:whatever search. I don't know the full list of search categories (probably a quick code read would find it), but here are several: subject: to: from: is: (e.g. is:unread) on: (e.g. on:today) Also, doing multiples (e.g. is:unread label:sent) does the logical AND. Not sure how to do OR though. You can enclose search phrases in quotes and, like I said before, not specifying a category (and not doing a colon) searches message bodies. John
