I'd like to be able to do an "AND" search on more than one category at a
time which returns records that match ALL the required categories, rather
than ANY of the required categories (which is an "OR" search).

Is this possible?

Thanks,

Yes, type "Business AND Personal" (without the quotes, of course) as the
search criteria.
 
I've found that this works with the Advanced Find tool but not the Simple
Find tool that's on the Standard toolbar (which always returns no matches
when this is tried).

This is a problem because I need this for MailMerge, but this option does
not appear on the Tools menu of the Advanced Find tool (and it wasn't
available as an option in the customise feature).

Is there a way to get the results from the Advanced Find to appear in the
standard view so that I can do a MailMerge of matching records?

Thanks,
Vilem
 
Use a filtered viewed. The Filter dialog uses the same parameters as
Advanced Find.
