    any online help page or in Mac Help.

    With at least one rule showing, hold down the option key. The “+” for >>> each item will become a “…”, and that will add the level of nesting >>> you're looking for.

    Fantastic! I never knew you could do *nested* Booleans. I've been
    wishing for that for years ... and it was there all the time! (Or at
    least since whenever it was introduced.) Now I won't have to do even
    the very few elaborate workarounds I successfully came up with!

    Thanks!

    +1 Thanks, Doc.

    My new entry has so many rows (it's for someone who has *many* names and
    stage names and pseudonyms) that I can't see the top frame with the Save button ... and there's no scrollbar for the top window with all the
    search criteria. (There's only a scrollbar for the displayed results.)

    Forgot to mention: At first, clicking anywhere else brought up the
    message "Do you want to save this search". But now even that is not happening.
