That has been fixed in meantime.

There is an elegant way to achieve this already now: Use an RSS reader (like
SharpReader for Windows or Straw from Linux) and subscribe to a logbook. Then don't
read the entries directly in the logbook, but read them in your RSS reader. Once you
read them, they become automatically marked read.

Has been fixed as well.

Elog supports now regular expressions. So for a "<str1> OR <str2>" one can write

<str1>|<str2>

and for a "<str1> AND <str2>" one can write

<str1>.*<str2>|<str2>.*<str1>

Looks a bit complicated, but maybe some day we will get some code which rewrites
"AND" and "OR" as regular expressions.
