Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 525206

(Thunderbird :: Search, defect)

Description

[Frederic Da Vitoria]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; fr; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102 Firefox/3.5.5 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; fr; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091121 Thunderbird/3.0

I enabled the smart folders. I don't know what for, but I keep many of the messages I received from bugzilla in a local folder. 

- If I select the Inbox start folder, type a search (for example "bugzilla") in the search box and type enter, I get a new tab with the results. Good. 

-If I select a local sub-folder, type "bugzilla" in the search box and type enter, I get a new tab with the results. Good.

- If I select the "Local folders" global branch, type "bugzilla" in the search box and press enter, the search box empties itself but nothing happens. Not good :-)


Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
I would expect the search to give the same results in the three situations

Hum I don't understand this step ? can you clarify ?

Does this happens ins safe-mode (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode) ?

Anything in Tools -> Error console when this happens ?

When I wrote "select Local folders", I meant click on the "Local folders" branch (which I hoped meant than subsequent operations would operate on all local folders, I first thought that this would allow me to restrict search, but now I know better), and don't click on anything else in the folders pane, click directly in the Quick search box.

When I type "bugzilla", I see that TB suggests me some possible key words, so everything seems just fine. Until I press the Enter key. The quick search box empties itself, but nothing else happens, no new tab, no error message, nothing. Nothing in the Error console either.

Exit, then re-enter in safe mode using the safe mode link installed by the setup: same results and same lack of errors.

It is because you are on "Account Central": it is a dupe.

Sorry. French version of TB, I searched bugzilla for "Local folders" :-(

No problem. Bugs need to be reported.
