Help for Subject Contains
To restrict your search to messages whose subject contains specific search words, simply type them in the "Subject Contains" search box. The syntax is the same as for the "String" box, with one difference: The "AND" operator is redundant because a subject field is very short and all the words are considered to be "close" to one another. Thus, in the "Subject Contains" box, there is no difference between a search for Mozart AND Beethoven and a search for Mozart Beethoven.
Subject searches are a good alternative when searching large archives, or when searching for topics that are mentioned quite often. If a word that you are looking for appears in the subject of a message, it is much more likely to reflect the actual contents of the message than if it only appears in one isolated sentence. On the other hand, what you are looking for may be hidden in a message that was about something else, and where someone just happened to mention your topic of interest in passing.
