Details

When I do a global search for "toms" the results include messages that contain "tom", and "tom" is highlighted. It looks like the algorithm for matching English is too fuzzy, and is conflating terms it shouldn't. There should be some way to make Thunderbird only return messages that actually match the search terms.
