Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 229142

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, enhancement)

Description

[Alexey Polonsky]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7

If I need to search for a string and I am not sure in which section of an email the string resides, I neeed to search in To:, From:, Body: and so on.

It would be nice to be able to just search anywhere in the email.

In addition, it would be nice to search anywhere in Thunderbird mails, not just
under Local Folders, or under a certain account.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click on mail account in the left pane
2. Select "Search Messages..."
3. Now try to search a string that might appear in any section of an email and
   the emails might appear in any account or in "Local Folders"
