Trouble with Thunderbird's Search Function

Myrcy

Hello everyone,

I hope you're doing well. I often find Thunderbird's search function challenging to use, and I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong.

For example, I recently searched for "<company name> shipped" to locate a tracking number, but even though the email contains all these terms, Thunderbird doesn't display it.

Is Thunderbird's search function really this flawed? Have any of you found tools to make it work better?

Thanks in advance for any help or for sharing your experiences with similar issues.

Hello there We have read the question We try to help

I understand your writing about these searches which often surprises me even though it is outside of software just on the internet probably this limit can be found everywhere if you place a search term even if you use the latest new one then it will also show more, I can prescribe you an add on to improve the situation for you.
