As observed in Thunderbird 109.0b3 (64-bit) and 109.0b4 (64-bit), if you create a contact in addressbook with three email addresses:
email@domain1.com
email@domain2.com
email@domain3.com
The contact is searchable via niddle keywords 'domain1' and 'domain2' but not found with 'domain3' while it is a valid search criteria based on the third email address registered in contact record.
What ever the number of email address, phone number or else record, the contact should be found based on niddle keyword (search criteria) if relevant to the contact.
This bug make search result unreliable as some contacts may appear (let say if searched domain name is recorded in first or second email address) and some don't (if the domain appear in the third email address).
Hope that make sense.

Can you explain the meaning of "niddle"? My dictionary doesn't return anything useful for that. Middle? Needle? Fuzzy?
Btw, it just doesn't search any third+ email address at all, not limited to domain.

This was caused by new AB, so 102 also affected.

+1, inconsistent, confusing and error-prone UX (ux-implementation-level)
Hope that make sense.
Oh yes. See my bug 1782608, of which this is a duplicate.
Admittedly, it might be quite hard to fix this, probably requiring to drill into our search backend. But fix it we should. Not sure when.

I meant needle as in "finding the needle in the haystack" :-)
