[Dx4win] LOTW Importation Issue

I decided to import LOTW info into DX4WIN today to see if I would pick
up a few band-countries.  I did, but I also picked up a country that I
didn't even remember I had worked.  After some investigation, I think
I figured it out>

The country I had worked was in my LOTW QSO/QSL database.  The QSO was
way back in 2003.  For some reason, this QSO had been deleted from my
DX4WIN log sometime after uploading it to LOTW.  Today, when I
imported my QSO information this QSO reappeared in my DX4WIN log AND
it was marked confirmed.  My country count climbed by one.  That's
great, but here are the things that concerned me.

1) This occurred without my knowledge.  I have my log separated into 2
pieces: QSO's at my previous QTH prior to 11/1/2005 and QSO's at my
current QTH.  They are separated with the GROUP number with the old
ones using GROUP number 0 and the new ones using GROUP number 1.  This
QSO was entered in my log and given GROUP number 1 because that is now
my default.  Unfortunately, this QSO should be in GROUP number 0.
2) This QSO marked the CONFIRMED flag.  I usually used the Upl Cnf
flag for LOTW QSO's, not the Cnf flag.

I had a heck of a time finding this.

Is there a way I can search for all QSO's that have been inserted
thanks to LOTW that weren't in my log before I did the import?

Is there a way I can search for all QSO's with a GROUP number of 1,
but with a date prior to 11/1/2005?
