A newsserver like msnews.microsoft.com doesn't support search. In cases like 
this it could be nice to be able to specify if you like search online (sending 
XPAT) or search offline (searching in mork data)

Currently the only way to search in offline data, is to switch to offline mode 
before searching. Now a very easy way...:)
mass re-assign.

This is a dup of Bug 210784
No, it's not, it isn't even dependent.
The XPAT search bug just made this bug visible. ;-)

Proposed patch

I don't know where the checkbox belongs in TB as it has no help button.

those files are all forked for thunderbird, so we should be OK there. 

You might want to disable the checkbox if the network state is offline, since,
in that case, we're going to search offline anyway.

Non-TB-breaking-patch (I hope)

It's somewhat surprising to see the checkmark unmarked in the case when the
network is off and you actually _can_ only search your local system, but that's
owned to the checkbox' persistence. So the question is whether it is useful at
all to persist the checkmark state _globally_.

1) Same feeling here;
2) and the fact that the check box does not respond to going online/offline
while the Search window is opened

3) UI-wise, I wonder if the two checkboxes could be on the same line !?
