Quick rundown...
To search for more than one word (AND), use ; (semi-colon)
For example - Search for "Marian" AND "Boffo": Marian;Boffo
To exclude something, prefix it with a ~ (tilde)
for instance, "Marian", AND NOT "Boffo": Marian;~Boffo
for boolean OR, use , (comma)
For instance, "Marian", AND ("Boffo" OR "Bungo"): {Boffo,Bungo};Marian

Probably not... in most cases AND, OR, NOT should suffice (; and , and ~),
for the rest, It would be safe to assume that any search pattern grep
(agrep, specifically) can handle, glimpse can.
I hope this helps a little
