Hi all,

How do I search for messages with <abc in the subject? Note that < is a
character, I don't want it treated as a less-than operator.

I don't want messages with <xabc to appear in the results, as <abc is not in
<xabc.

Thank you
Jim
 
If you are using Instant Search directly, then it should filter out <xabc
already.
If you set Instant Search to do a Subject search only, then place a double
quote in front of your search query; "<abc

Note, that there is no quote at the end or it won't be able to find <abcde.
If you indeed do not want to find <abcde either, then type "<abc" as your
query.
