I would like to suggest a search feature that could be an item in the search
drop down menu that is e.g. called Advanced Search.

When selected logical operators like AND, OR should be possible. A search could
look like this:

sender=martin AND subject=hardware
sender=hardware OR subject=hardware AND message="64bit processors"

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

The latest beta releases can be obtained from:

Seamonkey:   http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/
I write this so the bug isn't automatically marked as resolved.
see bug 240454 - which asks for this in "quick search".  is this what you want?
Or  do you want it for edit>find>search messages?

(Also, you should state what version of thunderbird you are using)

Yes, this is in some sence that same as bug 240454, although that bug doesn't
seam to deal with how to distinguish between subject, sender, message, etc..

Should I post a comment to that bug about that, so this bug can be closed?
Version: unspecified → 1.5

No. I reread bug 240454 - it's not the same.  It asks for logical operators, but
strictly within the existing pulldown choices of sender, subject, subject or
sender, etc.

confirming - but edit>find>search messages may be a better place to impliment
this (like "boolean chart" in bugzilla) than in quicksearch.

howdy y'all,

[1] my tbird info ...
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.0.2) Gecko/20060308 Thunderbird/1.5.0.2 - Build ID: 2006030803

[2] REQUEST - bug summary change
FROM -
"Advanced search against multiple target fields with logical operators like AND, OR"
TO -
something that includes "quicksearch" or "quick search" as this bug/rfe _seems_ to be about quicksearch and not about edit/find/search-messages.

take care,
lee


I'd rather a syntax like Google mail / Zimbra search:
  subject:hello in:Folders/personal
