Sorry about the late reply. The first copy also got to the mailing list. 
When in doubt, you can verify in the archive (after a few minuts have 
passed): https://www.mail-archive.com/mailmate@lists.freron.com/

No, the best you can do is to tab to the plus (if you have enabled Full 
Keyboard Access in System Preferences).

You might also want to consider “Edit ▸ Find ▸ Use as Default 
Search” if you tend to use the same set of search conditions (any 
conditions with empty text fields are ignored).

The long term plan is to offer a quick-search text field which does not 
require the heavy GUI of the current conditions editor.

The “Attachment-Name” header is not useful to match on. It only has 
a value for attachments viewed in the past and it also has other issues.

The best you can do is probably “Attachment-Count is not 0” and 
“Content-Description contains abc”, but it's far from perfect.
