Enable aggregate command set and the first ; (select) T(ext) A(ll): xyz
and then ; (alter) N(arrow) T(ext) T(o) pqr and then again ; (alter)
N(arrow) D(ate) /DATE/
When selecting the date ctrl+p lets you go back day by day if you won`t
write it in.

Wow!! this works. thanks
Is there any way I can do it in single key stroke?

This I use repeatedly. so can I store it and evoke it with single key?

Sorry, not that I know of.
If having multiple selections I try to grep in my archieve mail files,
but that will only work for queries to the same line in the file.

I find it easiest to use a windows grep for things like this such as the free astrogrep or dngrep. They allow using regular expressions with and and or statements, and other conditions in a single pass. They are very fast when just searching for strings. They also let you double click on a found line and go to that line in that file with yhour favorite editor. Disadvantage is both of these use the net framework.

Well, of course, grep started out as a Unix tool and is standard for almost every kind of Unix OS. Grep-like tools - awk, sed, even perl are light-years more powerful search tools than those built into most email clients, including pine.
I've even run across some, on occasion that will display blocks of text containing searched for strings, e.g., the email message that contains a regular expression. it is not hard to write, for instance, awk scripts that will provide this capability.
As long as you have access to your stored email files, you can use one of these tools.
Sometimes this is a problem for Pine users with accounts on
company, government, or university computers: The files on the mail-
server that stores your emails may not be accessible, except through the pine client itself. Usually, if you are not worried about security, you can work around this problem by storing email files in your local directory. Then only INBOX will not be available to grep, etc.
