Steps to reproduce:
- Go to "Tools" > "Account Settings" > "Copies & Folders", check "Place a copy in:", and click on ""Sent" Folder on:" <account_name>.
- Write a message to your account address. Let the subject be "sss" and the body blank.
- You should now have two copies of the message: one in "Inbox", and the other in "Sent".
- Press Ctrl-k to open the Global search, type "sss" and press Enter.
Actual results:
TB only finds one message.
Expected results:
TB should find both messages.

In Thunderbird 128, does the same thing happen for the string "xxxx" ?

Thank you, it doesn't happen with the subject "xxxx" on TB 128.5.1esr. But, FWIW, it still happens with other strings.
Sorry, I was wrong, it still happens with the subject "xxxx" in TB 128.5.1esr. (I was experimenting with TB trying to reproduce the issue and at some point had two messages with the subject "xxx" in two different accounts. Global Search found both of them, which mislead me into thinking the issue was gone).

Thanks for the follow up.
For future, please understand that we can't test nor make progress on examples that you haven't given.
Examples would be stem words, words that don't end in a suffix, such as "ing", "ed".

It's sometimes irritating, but IIRC gloda search results explicitly excludes duplicates from results.
Magnus, is that your recollection?
