However the quick search is fast and uses the normal mail UI for the results view which helps people to step through the returned results.įull Search uses the message protocol to perform a search over all messages in the account, even messages that Thunderbird hasn't seen yet. The quick search uses a strict type searching (from or subject, to, message) which needs to be changed (via the drop down) in order to search other types. It has a lack of prominence which often confuses people who cannot find all their messages because an old search is remaining. Quick Search only searches the messages seen in the current message list view. The separation of search and search result interfaces is confusing, useless, and needs to be fixed. We have 2 separate interfaces for searching and viewing results the quick search and the full search.
Work on design and development of extensions that move towards a new search paradigmĬurrent search is very broken.Develop platform that enables future search improvements.Work through improvements to the existing search and quick search.Improving search is going to have a transition period requiring a lot of improvements in a number of different areas from the search entry to browsing, the results view, and even processing / organizing of mail.
Improve the search interface, make search a useful and integral part of Thunderbird for finding mail, contacts, attachments, and events.
