Default Search combined categories (as search folders) in Outlook 2007

Hello,

Is there any way to make search folder use 2 (or more) categories for
searching, using logical "AND" between them? I've tried using various
advanced settings but the only result I got is searching with logical
"OR".

Example:
Message #1: Categories: A,B
Message #2: Categories: B,C
Message #3: Categories: A,C

What I expect is to create search folder named "A+C" which would
contain only Mesage #3 but not #1 and #2. Now everything I've tried
ended with getting all example messages in search results.

Please help

Regards,
M.

The Query Builder allows that.

You do not need the Query Builder for that. You can use the Advanced tab for
that as well;
Field: Categories
Condition: contains
Value: Category A Category C

You'd only need the Query Builder when you want to search on 2 or more
combination of fields or mix and/or operations. For instance;
{Sent by me AND sent after date}
OR
contains the category projectname

This solution works fine, but then catgories must not contain spaces
in their names.
