I use MS Outlook 2002 and I am trying to use mutliple words either in an
inclusion and/or exclusion basis (i.e "and" / "or"), in the advance find
field "Search for the words" but I do not believe it is not rending the
proper result.

Try entering this in the box for the text:

red or green or blue

That did not help, I believe using the word "or" or "and" has the effect of
selecting all emails since the word "or" and "and" appears in most emails.

Doesn't work that way here. Can you give us an example from your own data to try?

Sue, that's easy, I am using the words "Quest" and "Large", since I only want
emails with an individual's name of Large and Quest because that's the
company he works for. Just using Large will give me too many results since
large is a common word and I don't just want emails with Quest since I deal
with many people from Quest. Hopefully that helps.
Thanks, Pat

So, you want to use and, not or. Put this in Advanced Find:

large and quest
