Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.0) Installed from: Gentoo Packages OS: Linux Currently the quicksearch bar doesn't consider the e-mail addresses. In my opinion, the addresses (From, To, etc.) should also be searched. Often it's easier and faster to type some substring of a known e-mail address than to type that person's name. I don't consider this to be a duplicate of 97519 since more is less when it comes to search bars.
It searchs what it displays, when you enable the receiver column it will also be searched.

For example, right now your mail is displayed with "Stephan Binner" as "Sender", but the corresponding From field in the message is not searched. When I type "binner@kde" nothing shows up. Do you mean that there's some way to enable an additional field containing the e-mail address? In any case, I think it would be best if the filter bar would also search things like the actual e-mail addresses without forcing me to clutter my display with additional columns. I should perhaps add an example: some of my friends use webmail, but only part of the time. The result is that some mails contain a formatted name in the from field, others don't. The one thing that I can be sure of is that all the messages contain the e-mail address. Therefore it would be most natural to just type the address.
well it can only search what is visible really anything else makes no sense, cause it would need a config dialog to enable what hidden fields should be searched wich open a can of worms really. Also there is a new search in the works
