Bugzilla

In bug 1488176 comment 27 et al Geoff and I talked about a way to query messages. It looks like we never filed a followup for this.

The search API should be modeled in a way that we can use gloda to speed up searches, but at the same time also make it work when gloda is disabled. an `index: false` option could allow manually disabling gloda, or `true` to explicitly request it.

Conceptually, it could be similar to the browser.tabs.query() method, but suitable for mail. The responses should use message lists as per https://thunderbird-webextensions.readthedocs.io/en/latest/how-to/messageLists.html

Hermar was looking into writing a gloda based experiment for this, I'd love for us to work with him to make what he is working on suitable for adding to Thunderbird.

Conceptually, it could be similar to the browser.tabs.query() method, but suitable for mail. The responses should use [message lists](https://thunderbird-webextensions.readthedocs.io/en/latest/how-to/messageLists.html).
