[Michael Fierro <biffster@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think that, out of all of the features/bugs that Michael listed, the most
important one is:

*"AND" Searches*
To be able to do AND searches, so can find only entries that have all
search words.  When I do a one word search there will be many results in
the search pane, and to narrow the search results it would be handy to only
show entries that I know I had two or more particular words in it.
