Either use:
[contents] [matches the FoxTrot query] [Bordasch -Ingo]

Or:
[contents] [includes all of the words] [Bordasch]
[contents] [does not include any of the words] [Ingo]
[all criteria (AND)]


When using [includes all of the words], most options described in the FoxTrot Query Syntax help do not apply (except, for example, quoted strings).
