That's how I found it, and I learned a little more about it by a need to get all mail to/from a specific client for a specific month and doing advanced searches.
Granted, that's also how I learned about "site:", by going to advanced search on Google and specifying a single site to search, the resulting page shows the "site:" in the search box.
