Searching multiple lists?
frankathl says:
Is it possible to specify a query which will search multiple(but not all lists)? I tried, "list:Personal list:Work...", in the search box, but this will not work. I use the RTM add-on for iGoogle, and would like to be able to exclude certain lists from display.

Sure, try:
list:Personal OR list:Work
Full details on advanced search operators are available here.
Hope this helps!

Thanks, Emily. Unfortunately, this does not work. For example, I used the following search query:
list:"Shopping List" OR list:Study status:completed
RTM returned all not completed items in Shopping List, and ignored the remainder of the search string. This suggests to me that OR(boolean?) is not recognized?
list:"Shopping List" OR list:Study status:completed

Try:
(list:"Shopping List" OR list:Study) AND status:completed
(It's best to specifically include OR or AND or NOT between any criteria -- there are some cases where you don't need it, but it never hurts to include it :)
Hope this helps.
