When I search for e-mails I often get hundreds of candidates. The list can be minimized by using year, from me, to me, attached files, fine. But then there are Persons and Folders. If I click on a person I can choose 1) must include or 2) should not include. I would like to have a third option: select only this person. In my latest search I had 469 persons, to click on 468 to exclude them is not an option The names in my attachment are made anonynous

What are you asking for? EMails addressed to only that person and no other?
Yes, e-mails to or from the selected person. In my attachment my search found mails from 469 persons! How do I narrow it down to one (or maybe a handful)?
That is what the must include option does, it only includes mail for the selected address.
I can see what you mean, but this is not what I want. When I select "To me" and "must include" Person D I just want mails from Person D, not mails from person X, Y and Z to me and a group of persons that happens to include Person D. This could be a third choice: "Must include from"
You might want to try the find option (ctrl+Shift+F) It does limit you to individual accounts, but specifying the from is simple.
