Indenting search criteria

[armsys]

Graphical user interface (GUI) of the Search Criteria construction is visually pleasing as long as no indenting rows (criteria) are applied. The benefits of the indenting rows, often than not, diminish and precipitate more confusion than clarity. The following simple complex indenting criteria (see the screen shot) may represent (Reminder >0 minutes AND Begin Date >=12/25/2008 AND Begin Date <= 1/30/2009) AND (Date Completed = NIL OR Date Completed doesn't exists). But I'm not sure.

Textual representation of the Search Criteria are more comprehensible, definitive, and flexible regardless of the complexity involved.

Just my two cents.
