Unable to Find Global Search
I am trying to search through all of my messages.
The Global Search feature described here seems to be what I need:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/global-search
It says it will search all fields, accounts, folders, etc. for any messages.
It doesn't exist on my screen, though, the way it's described in that article (as a search box above the Filter box).
The closest feature I can find is Shift-Ctl-F that brings up a very narrowly targeted search facility that forces me to pick the specific folder that I want to search, and the field that I want to search within the eMails within that folder. This highly focused search is the exact opposite of the Global Search feature that I'm looking for, which doesn't make me specify anything to search through.
How do I invoke the Global Search feature, so that I can ask Thunderbird to "just find it" anywhere in the system when I type in a search term?

Perfect! Thanks! ....and now that I've invoked the feature once, the global search bar shows up in the app's title bar all the time, as expected. Not sure why it didn't show before. I also didn't realize there was a normal menu in the app via the Alt key. Thanks for all that.
You're welcome. I have proposed to developers to make the menu bar visible as default but, so far, no response. I use it regularly.
Yea, that exposes a lot of functionality. It just never occurred to me to tap Alt to see if more "stuff" came up. Had that been visible by default, it might have saved a support question.
