User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/127.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/127.0.0.0
Steps to reproduce:
Open up mail folder, toggle Quick Filter bar on. Select filter messages by Sender, Recipients and Sender (not Body).
Actual results:
It takes 30 - 45 seconds to return a result during which time the Thunderbird window becomes unresponsive. I created a performance profile here: https://share.firefox.dev/467VNkx
This issue is also raised on reddit here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Thunderbird/comments/1e6hryp/quick_filter_is_super_slow_in_128/
Expected results:
In prior versions of Thunderbird even with a large mail folder the quickfilter would run very quickly.

Thanks laurence. Unfortunately something is corrupted in the profile. Please rerun, with Thunderbird in Help > Troubleshoot Mode.

98% of the time are spent in sort. What is the primary and secondary sort orders of the view? Looks like the effect observed in bug 1905786 comment #8.

It is either VERY SLOW, or not working at all for me.
Ubuntu Linux 25.10
Thunderbird 146.0 (64-bit)

As this bug is closed, have a look at Bug 1947880 - Quick Filter on body takes 20 seconds to show any results for 30k messages - decodeMimeHeader activity
