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 > I understand patterns, though I somehow doubt we are talking about the > same thing here.

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.
