TBIRD displays my search results in a new tab. This removes the context of my search from the historical flow of emails It also clutters the window with unneeded information. Remembering that computers are to assist us, not complicate our lives, I need TBIRD to highlight results in the INBOX tab. I can then quickly scroll or jump to each to find the match I need. Once found, I can then sort based on Address, Subject etc, to bring together just the emails I need. Additionally, I am able to find a particular email with all the date related emails around it. I am endeavoring to be empathetic that some of y'all want a separate tab for the results. However, I wish to politely note that my way yields more tools. Can we live on the same globe with what we both need?

then use the quick filter search (Ctrl_Shift+K) instead of global search. You make it obvious you are only searching the inbox, so any additional items the global search finds will not be what you want.

Global search doesn't find messages in the trash folder. Is this by design? Many times when I'm looking for a message I want to look in the trash folder also.

Right-click Trash, Properties, and check the box shown in the attached picture.

Thank you. I'm still getting acquainted with T-Bird after about 20 years of Eudora!
