Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 577819

(MailNews Core :: Search, defect)

Description

[Chris]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3 GTB7.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.4) Gecko/20100526 Thunderbird/3.1

When a search folder species a search for "Match ANY of the following", messages that are tagged with more than one of the specified tags do not appear

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a filter for matching "ANY of the following", so that it can match any of two tags.  Lets call them Tag1 and Tag1.  In my case, my filter is "Match any of the following (1) Unread (2)Tag1 3(Tag2)
2. Save the filter as a search folder under Local Folders


Actual Results:  
1. Messages that are tagged with Tag1 show up in the search folder
2. Messages that are tagged with Tag2 show up in the search folder
3. Messages that are tagged with BOTH Tag1 AND Tag2 do NOT show up in the search folder.

Expected Results:  
1. Messages that are tagged with Tag1 show up in the search folder
2. Messages that are tagged with Tag2 show up in the search folder
3. Messages that are tagged with BOTH Tag1 AND Tag2 do DO show up in the search folder.

Search folders matching on ANY tag should show messages that match ANY tag

Note this was not a problem in the previous version of Thunderbird

Chris, you need to use "contains" operator instead of "is", because the field name is "tags" (meaning a string containing all tags), not "tag" (a single tag).
