In the Global Search bar, "Search All Messages" should just be "Search" now that we have the capability to do web search in there, and new features may add search for other things to that list.
So how will users know what exactly will be searched?
It is the global search for a reason, but specifically the search the web option lists it in the autocomplete list.

How do we all feel about "Search Everything" instead?

Just using Search as previously agreed.

The fix

That was a much larger change than I would have guessed…

ui-r=me, and r=me.

Thanks,
Blake.

Branch patch. This is so that we can change en-US without affecting locales, although locales can pick it up if they want.

"Search All Messages" is reasonable, but now we've got searching the web from that menu as well, we've had feedback that "Search" would be clearer, so we'd like to start pushing that out as soon as we can.

That's much smaller.  ui-rs=me, rs=me.

Ok, I realised I should have gone with just renaming the string label as "searchAllMessages" doesn't apply for L10n either now.
