It's not nearly as convenient as you'd hope. It only marks the folders 
that contain the phrase, it doesn't pull out the messages or even mark the 
messages within each marked folder. Once you have the list of marked 
folders you will need to manually open each folder and search within the 
folder for what you are looking for.
