Description Martin Steigerwald 2015-04-12 11:43:16 UTC

As I tried to reproduce bug #324189 I found that I will get search results instead of getting non as reported there after setting it to search in all folders and repeating search by clicking on "search" several times. But then it doesn´t limit the search results when I tell it to use just one folder to results in that folder anymore. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Search a a word in subject of mail in all folders in search window
2. Make sure KMail displays some results from several folders. 
3. Limit search to one of them
4. Click search again.

Actual Results:  
Still displays results from mutiple folders.

Expected Results:  
Only displays results from the folder selected.

This is with KDEPIM 4.14 and Akonadi 1.13 from their respective branches as about one week ago.

Martin, did you try to search in a specific folder only, without searching globally before that? What you found might be the "cannot edit searches" bug.

Please try the following:
1. Restart kontact and akonadi (alternatively, do it after a fresh boot)
2. Start kmail, and immediately:
3. Search for messages containing some string in the subject (to be extra sure not to hit other search-related bugs); limit this initial search to a specific folder. Please be aware of the checkbox to control whether to look in subfolders of the specified folder.
4. Take note of the search results
5. Edit the search to a global one that is not restricted to a specific folder.
6. Take note of the search results

From the bugs I saw so far, the results from 4 and 6 should be the same. However, it has nothing to do with restricting the search to some folders. It's just that modifying existing searches seems to be broken.

Can you please try to confirm/reject my theory with a Framework-based (5.0 or later) version of KMail?

Note to self: If I'm right, Bug 366682 and Bug 352472 are probably duplicates of this one.
