Steps to reproduce:
Choose folder that has 20,000+ messages in it (like SENT).
Click on QUICK FILTER.
Type a word or words to search for.
Select Filter Message By: BODY
NOTE: I suspect the issue is that there is NO visual indicator that shows it is STILL SEARCHING other messages. This bug happens WHILE it is searching. After 20 to 30 seconds, once it is done searching, then a full list of messages appears, and everything works properly.
This is on Thunderbid v115.6.0 (64-bit) on Windows.
This bug started happening with the UI change that occured within the last 6 months to 1 year (can not remember exact time it changed).
Actual results:
A list of a few messages is returned, but clicking on any one of the messages causes that message to change to another message.
There is no visual indicator that it is still SEARCHING thru more messages.
This bug happens WHILE it is searching. After 20 to 30 seconds, once it is done searching, then a full list of messages appears, and everything works properly.
Expected results:
Clicking on any one of the messages should display that particular message with the search terms in it.
There should be a visual indicator showing that it is still searching.

Duplicate of bug 1831500.

@jsherk: Thanks for your report.
Expected results:
There should be a visual indicator showing that it is still searching.
This feature will be implemented in bug 1874419.
Please comment there if anything important from your bug report is not covered. Thank you.
I did not fully understand this part of your report:
Actual results:
[…] clicking on any one of the messages causes that message to change to another message.
Expected results:
Clicking on any one of the messages should display that particular message with the search terms in it.
I tried and couldn't see anything unusual. By "causes that message to change to another message", do you mean the preview pane does display a different message than the one selected and highlighted in the message list? (This would be a bug.) Or do you mean that while the search is ongoing, found messages are added to the message list in real time? (I'd consider this expected behaviour. What would you suggest instead?)
Or do you mean something else entirely?
If it's directly related to bug 1874419, please mention it there, so that it will be taken into consideration when fixing that bug. Thank you.
