341432 - Searching messages for tags doesn't fully work

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Description

[Karsten Düsterloh]

Thunderbird Mac/SeaMonkey Windows nightly of 2006-06-13

Search messages is broken when searching for tags:
- tag one message in a folder as Later and Work, using former labels
- tag another one there as Important, Later and Work
- open Search Messages dialog, search in that folder for [Tag][contains][Work]

Results: none
Expected results: both above messages

- search again, this time for [Tag][contains][Later]

Results: message one from above
Expected results: both above messages

- search again, this time for [Tag][contains][Important]

Results: second message from above, as expected

It seems that only the tags whose internal keywords are alphabetically first are found?

I'll look into it.

need to use length of keyword we're looking for, not the length of the whole string, when looking for blank. So the search was failing on any but the first keyword.
