how "contains any of" works in Filters ?, what's the delimiter?
 
Hi,

I'm trying to set a simple filter that will catch messages with certain words in the subject and move them to trash. It looks like

Subject | Contains any of | pharmacy,pills,casino

However this doesn't work, what delimiter should I put between the words?
Tried space comma, colon: semicolon; pipe| two pipes|| minus- slashes / and \
, nothing works. If I leave only one word, then it works.

What's the right way?

thanks  
 
well I found sort of a solution

If I use "match" instead of "contains any of", and a pipe | as a separator, the filter works.

It's still a mistery to me what's the difference between

contains
contains any of
match
matches any of

"contains any of" doesn't seem to accept more than one word, so how it differs from "contains"?
"match" accepts many |-separated words, how it differs then from "matches any of" ?

which of the above 4 conditions is triggered by a separate word and which is triggered by a part of a word? In which case for example "pill" will match only [space]pill[space], and in which case "pill" will also match "pills" ?

Needless to say, the help does not bother you with such insignificant details. Use the good old trial and error approach.
