Searching for Names
 
What is the best way to search in OL2007 for names? For instance, if I want
to find messages from 'Bob Jones", how should the search be entered? If I
enter Bob Jones, I get a whole lot of Bobs but not only Bob Jones, which is
what I really want. So what is the best format for multi-word searches?
