How much do you know about Notes Full Text Search?

Have you ever noticed the word "More" on your full text search bar?   If not, you're missing out on a lot of options!

When you click on more, the Search panel expands to offer several advanced features.

I bundle these into 4 categories:
1. Sort options: This controls how the results of your search are displayed, and consequently, how actions you take on the results are handled.
2. Options: Controls how matches are determined.
3. Conditions: These buttons allow you to get much more specific about what you are looking for.
4. Save/Load: Very useful if you repeat a specific search frequently.

I'll go over each of these in their own post.

Do you use these features today?
