735665 - Search messages in Body includes everything

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 721167

(Thunderbird :: Search, defect)

Description

[Leprechaun]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:6.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0
Build ID: 20110811165603

Steps to reproduce:

Search messages with a term in "Body", being this term part of my email address.


Actual results:

This term was part of my email address, so search finds every message, because apparently "Body" means everywhere, the "To:" field included.
This doesn't make sense, because other fields can be included into the search by means of the Or clause (+). This lacks any flexibility, and makes impossible to select messages, for instance, having the account email address in the proper Body of the message.
Maybe a feature, not a Bug, but a wrong feature in any case.


Expected results:

Only messages having the chosen term in Body would have been found, which is useful.
