Hi
can msoutlook 2003 search through all email folders for emails containing
text word1 +word2 instead of finding all emails with either word1 or word2
in them. I guess a boolean search is what i'm looking for.
If not is there an alternative solution.
thanks

Somehow I read what you asked as being for rules. Clearly not what you
intended. Sorry.

Yes, if you use advanced search, views or search folders - use query builder
in the advanced filter.
