Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Search, defect)

Description

[Jean-Philippe Fleury]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100308 Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.6 Ubiquity/0.1.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.8) Gecko/20100322 Thunderbird/3.0.3

When I enter more than one term in the search text box that is located on the right side of the toolbar, the search is always performed with the "and" operator. I don't have any choice to use the "or" operator, even if in the following page: 

http://support.mozillamessaging.com/pl/kb/New+in+Thunderbird+3#Search

we ca read: "Enter one or more search terms - you will be given the choice of whether the search should treat the terms with an "and" or an "or" operator."

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter more than one term in the search text box that is located on the right side of the toolbar, for example:

word1 word2

The only choice that appears is "Messages contenant : word1, word2".

2. Press "Enter".
Actual Results:  
A search is performed with the "and" ("et" in French) operator:

Rechercher word1 et word2

If I try with these terms:

word1 or word2

I obtain "Rechercher word1 et or et word2".

If I try:

word1 OR word2

I obtain "Rechercher word1 et OR et word2".

If I try:

word1 || word2

I obtain "Rechercher word1 et || et word2".

Expected Results:  
We should have an option to use the "or" operator.

The "or" operator was removed between the beta and final versions of Thunderbird 3, but the doc page referenced above was not updated. I updated the page to remove the reference to the "or" operator.
