I use glimpse a lot, but am embarassed to say that I did not until now 
figure out how to do more complicated searches, say for messages with 
more than one keyword.

I wanted to add this to the wiki, but it seems such does not exist, at 
least not a user-friendly one.

So I'll just give it in this message:



0. Glimpse uses regular expressions

1. searching on single words is fine

2. you can search on 2 words in a single line by joining them with a ;

3. But if you want all messages that contain both words (strings), 
   you MUST ALSO SELECT "AND scope whole file".  

4. If you simply give 2 words separated by a space, it will look for
   that string (2 words separated by a space).

5. Still don't know what "match whole word" is for.
