Complex Searching in Thunderbird

I'm hoping to find some syntax documentation and/or information on how to do more complex searching within Thunderbird.

I've seen references to some basic multipart searching capabilities. (ie. placing scott "tuesday night" in the search field would result in a list of emails containing both of those criteria.)

But I'm looking for even more such as placing scott "tuesday night" folder:inbox, which would allow me to narrow down that search to JUST the inbox, not any and all folders below it.

Thanks in advance,

Chris
