Looking at how the foxtrot pro interface is designed right now (for
multiple criteria search) I think it would be a step in the right direction
to include a [all criteria] / [at least one criterion] switch. This would
not mess with the current design philosophy behind foxtrot pro and would
offer a wide range of new search options.
