[opensuse] Thunderbird search question
Hi, Running openSUSE 11.3 on two different machines. On one machine when using Thunderbird I have a little magnifying glass icon on the left hand side of the search box where I can set the filter for the search (from, subject, whole messgae etc.). This is Thunderbird 3.0.10. On the other machine I am missing this feature and search always searches the complete message. This is Thunderbird 3.1.6. I plead ignorance as to adding an extension to get this feature. Is there a setting I am missing to get this filter capability into the search box? Help is appreciated.

I haven't quite got to grips with your problem. How about posting screenshot(s) of what you mean by "magnifying glass icon" because I either have never seen one in TB or have missed it..... Post the screenshot(s) at http://picpaste.com/ so that we all can see what you mean. BC -- Attorney: Are you qualified to give a urine sample?

It's in the search bar and has been for quite a while. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998

Oh, I see. Thanks, Ken. I have never paid attention to that box, and I have always used Edit>Find to do searches of messages. Live and learn...... :-) .

Here's the screenshot: http://picpaste.com/thunderSearch-obrZykL2.png The magnifying glass icon (representing the search filter) is circled in red. Help is appreciated.

Thanks, Robert, and see my reply to Ken. I have never paid attention to that box - didn't even know that it was a search tool. And I just saw that Wolfgang answered your question (but I still cannot see the magnifying glass - I'm using 3.1.6). BC -- Attorney: Are you qualified to give a urine sample?

Thunderbird since 3.1 has two search boxes. One global at the top and one simple search for the opened folder below if you enable it with the magnifier. Once you start typing into the second one you can choose if you want to filter sender, recipient, subject, content or any combination from them.
