pick(1):

   This means that the pattern specified for a -search will be found
   everywhere in the message, including the header and the body, while the
   other pattern matching requests are limited to the single specified
   component.

   Pattern matching is performed on a per-line basis.  Within the header
   of the message, each component is treated as one long line, but in the
   body, each line is separate.

Based on the above extracts, it doesn't seem too bad.
Is there something in particular you think's missing?
