The ability to globally Mark cards by finding... is a great way to do
boolean OR searches, but I can't figure out an elegant way to make it
work for AND searches. If there are multiple items to search for,
simply doing a repetitive "mark cds by finding "foo" " (and then foo1,
foo2, etc) will make a list of all cds that have any of the items. Is
there a simple way to mark only the cards that have ALL of the items?
The only solution I have come up with is to mark all cards that
have the first item, then go to each marked card and do a manual-type of
search for all the rest in that card, and unmark a card if the rest of the
words are not found.
Also, is there a way of marking cards where something is NOT
found? Something like: "mark cards by NOT finding "foo" ".

If you do a standard HyperCard "Find" on a multiple-word string, it
finds only cards that contain *all* those words. If you then "mark"
the found cards, that should answer your need.
