I've found that the searches "stack"; that is, if I do a search, and end
up with a subset (maybe 0) of the messages, and I do another search, it
just restricts the results *of the first search*.  So if 0 results were
returned from the first search, the second will always return 0. 
Hitting "clear" pops the stack, so if you've done 2 searches, you have
to do two clears before getting back to the full list.

But this is only my impression; I'm not absolutely positive.
