309415 - message views and quick search interact strangely

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

I've created a message view "Is Junk" (customize, create a new view, junk status
equals junk).  When I have "Subject or Sender" selected in the quicksearch
field, this view works to show my messages marked as Junk. When I switch to
"Entire message" in the quicksearch field, the "Is Junk" view shows as empty. 

This was tested with the latest 1.8 branch build with windows XP

Putting this on my 1.1 list. (clearing the flag since this should be thunderbird
only and I don't want to make it show up on the firefox bug blocker list)

Attachment: the fix

Even if you didn't have any actual quick search text, we still saw that the
quick search mode was set to Entire Message, and were using an imap online
search scope for searches that should have been done locally.

This fixes Asa's problem. I can still get the search in trouble by using a view
that uses offline criteria (like this isJunk example) and combining that with a
quick search for Entire Message with some valid data (thus requiring an online
search). That's going to be pretty hard to merge the local and online search
terms together, hopefullly we can punt on that part for 1.5.
