Steps to reproduce:
Search for term
Actual results:
App finds search term in message headers, which is useless for most of us.
Expected results:
See also https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1904666 for context.
I doubt that even in 1% of searches, the user wants to include the header. If the search term isn't visible in message body, why give misleading (even if technically correct) search hits?
@F. Ehrhardt (reporter):
Thanks for filing this report. How does it differ from bug 1904666 regarding "expected results" ?
From what I understand, you request the same thing in both bugs:
The body field in the SHIFT+CTRL+F (Search Messages) window should ONLY search the plain text (that you see displayed in the message) but not the formatting code (HTML/CSS).
It's sufficient to have 1 bug for this request. If you don't mind, I'll mark this bug as duplicate of your other bug. Otherwise please state differences.
I assume you filed this bug following my comment #4 of bug 1904666. Sorry for the misunderstanding. What I suggested there was to offer 2 search fields to users:
bodybody (excluding HTML/CSS code)
I have filed this enhancement request in bug 1906516.
