Description grannie 2020-09-13 11:38:55 UTC

i have a search folder with some specific folders.
The criterion is: message status is not read

The search folder contains a lot of emails that are read.

Furthermore: when i click search, a window pops up asking to reindex some of the folders - but everytime!

Is there an indexing problem?
Doesnt help if I manually click "reindex" within the folder properties either

Any idea on how to investigate the problem further?

Comment 2 grannie 2021-04-21 05:40:06 UTC

The error persists...

Looks like there are several problems with searching. And not only within the search folder. Even in search dialog, and in search toolbar that is above the messages list. For example in search dialog I try to search in header for List-Id and set the criteria to include some string and it looks like the string is not used verbatim as a whole, it looks like it is broken into "words" from the search string (e.g. "some.mailing.list" is broken into "some", "mailing", "list") and then the search matches if any of the separate word is matched. And I have a feeling it is also not limited juts to List-Id header field but it searches entire message for a match.
