Instant Search and Advanced Find

I am trying a search in Instant Search and Advanced Find that gives
different results. I want to search for all email from people at
other universities (contains .edu) but not from mine (does not contain
wcu.edu) and are sent directory to me (to My Name).

In Instant Search, the query looks like "from:(.edu AND NOT wcu.edu)
to:(My Name)" and returns a set of results.

In Advanced Find, the query looks like "AND -> From contains .edu ->
From doesn't contain wcu.edu -> To contains My Name" and returns a
completely different set of results.

Can anyone explain to me the differences between these two methods?

Are you using querybuilder or SQL? The standard adv find dialog doesn't do
AND when the same field is used twice - it does an OR. Querybuilder and SQL
can do AND.
