Hi, Ellen. A search returns all matching conversations. There is no way to limit the results other than make a more specific search.

There are many ways to go through your messages and delete certain ones.

As I described in my previous post, you can use keyboard shortcuts to step through the messages (in the reading pane) one by one and use the D key to delete that message or the J key to skip to the next message without deleting.
You can select all messages in the search (including those hidden messages scrolled off the display) using the checkbox at the top of the checkboxes. Then can then use the Delete button to move the selected messages to your Trash folder.
You can select any message with your mouse or by using the J and K keys to move through the list. Then use the keyboard shortcut shift+X to select the range from the top of the list down through that message. Then you can then use the Delete button to move the selected messages to your Trash folder.
You can click any checkbox with your mouse, then hold the Shift key while you click any other checkbox. That range of messages will be selected. Then you can then use the Delete button to move the selected messages to your Trash folder.
