On the toolbar > Help > Troubleshooting Information

Click the show profile button in Troubleshooting Information Close Thunderbird In the file window that opened, delete the file global- messages-db.sqlite Restart Thunderbird.

The search will be rubbish until the file fully regenerates, which could take a whole day if you have 10 or 20Gb of mail.

You can monitor the status of that using the Activity Manager.

Turn on the Main menu bar. (Turning it off is the reverse of turning it on.) Right click a blank space on the toolbar Select Menu bar from the menu. From the Tools menu on that bar select Activity Manager
