Okay, so this seems like a silly question, but I can't seem to find anything about it. I've checked in the AQS and haven't seen anything about it yet either. So I'm trying to conduct a search on the subject line of all mailboxes in my organization with a query like this:

foreach ($db in $mdblist) {Get-Mailbox -Database $db -ResultSize Unlimited | 
Search-Mailbox -SearchQuery 'subject:"Monthly Expences Report" AND attachment:"Report_######.doc"' -LogOnly -LogLevel FULL -TargetMailbox joseph.c.larrew -TargetFolder Searches\1003333 |

Both the subject parameter and attachment parameter are literal strings and I did mean to spell "expences" that way.

I can do a search for just the subject and a separate search for the attachment and both give positive results, but when I "AND" them, no results. I've done a search against a specific mailbox that I know should come up with a positive and still no dice. Any thoughts?

I don't think you can use regexes in the searchquery parameter... – Joseph Aug 12 '16 at 08:53
You can't. Are you 100% sure that there is an overlap between messages that have that subject AND has the named attachment? – Mathias R. Jessen Aug 12 '16 at 08:58
100%. I sent one to another user and searched his mailbox specifically as well. – Joseph Aug 12 '16 at 09:39
