The two searches are not designed to be combined. The partial one is
designed for domains. I had never thought about combining the two. It
seems that the code is taking the partial setting first, and then the *@
setting. I will add an item to the Wish List suggesting that the
combination be made more useful, along the lines of what you suggest.
