Version: unknown (using KDE 3.5.5, Kubuntu (dapper) 4:3.5.5-0ubuntu1) Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.15-27-686 when searching for an email i am often only able to think of one or two words which might make it stand out from all of the other email i have. Sometimes this is enough to find the email, but other times that word or phrase is in the "forwarded" part of a message from a coworker, and the Search bar doesn't pull it up.
I've created a Wish item for Amarok to create the filter as an external library, I am not sure if this helps or not but I think it would. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194348
By "forwared" mail you mean inline text? The status line is not scanning the mail text currently IMO - would by quite slow.

This is part of the email and it should be searched. > The status line is not scanning the mail text currently IMO - would > by quite slow. Slow or not, it should be searched as it is a part of the email. As I suggested, I have requested that Amarok's amazing filter be seperated out as an external library, I don't know if that helps or not. Thanks for KMail and Kontact!
For doing a full search you can always search your messages (press s). The quick search must indeed be quick and doing full text search is not quick enough. This may change when kmail is ported to akonadi in KDE 4.5. Then the mails will be stored in a database and possibly indexed with strigi?
