Version: 2.0.95 (using Devel) OS: Linux Searching mails via the "full search" feature of KMail2 does always return a empty result. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: Open the "full search" window and click on "Search" without any keyword. Actual Results: 0 results returned immediately Expected Results: All mails in the folder should be shown up. I am using the kde-overlay for Gentoo, currently all versions are at 4.6.90
version 2.0.95 is old by now. you should consider installing KDEPIM 4.6 which includes kmail 2.1.0
Search doesn't work in kmail 2.1.0 at all. Using kontact 4.6.0, KDE 4.6.5.
Are you sure that you have not pb with nepomuk ?
Happens for me, too! Nepomuk is working (indexed search works properly in Dolphin) but searching in KMail via "find messages" and scope "complete message" does return nothing. Searching the same keyword (which only exists in a mail) via KRunner returns a "akonadi:?item=10977" result from type Resource. KDE SC 4.6.90 with KMail 2.0.95 on openSUSE 11.4 64bit
The description of this bug with "steps to reproduce" leaves all fields empty. If you click "search" then, I think it's acceptable that no results are shown, because you're basically not searching for anything. :-) If you select "Complete Message" contains "something", I'm getting results... although it might take quite some time depending on the amount of e-mails and whether you're using IMAP or POP3. Funny thing is, that it doesn't show anywhere that it's still busy searching. So you might think that it doesn't come up with any results. This is unacceptable behavior, since there's no way of knowing whether it has finished with no results, or it is still busy searching. So, I'm guessing that the above is what's happening to Andreas Demmer in #4? To confirm this, wait a few minutes after a search. As for the bug description, it might be a nice feature if one can do a search for everything: that way, one can combine "sent" and "inbox" folders and turn threading on. But that's not part of this bug. :)
No, there is no background activity for me, the search has already finished. And an indexed search should run only a couple of seconds. At least, that is how it worked back in KDE 4.6 already with KMail2: Searching took only a fraction of a second and results appeared. Here I can wait for minutes and no results turn up.
I have the exact same result. I am compiling from git master against kde 4.7.0. When launching kmail from a command line and doing a search for foo in mail headers, for example I get the following invalid SPARQL querry: select distinct ?r ?reqProp1 (bif:concat(bif:search_excerpt(bif:vector('foo'), ?v2))) as ?_n_f_t_m_ex_ where { { ?r <http://akonadi-project.org/ontologies/aneo#akonadiItemId> ?reqProp1 . ?r <http://www.semanticdesktop.org/ontologies/2007/03/22/nmo#messageSubject> ?v2 .

FILTER(?v1>0) . } If instead I search for "foo" in the "Complete message" I again get an invalid querry: select distinct ?r ?reqProp1 (bif:concat(bif:search_excerpt(bif:vector('foo'), ?v11),bif:search_excerpt(bif:vector('foo'), ?v12),bif:search_excerpt(bif:vector('foo'), ?v14),bif:search_excerpt(bif:vector('foo'), ?v4))) as ?_n_f_t_m_ex_ where { { ?r <http://akonadi-project.org/ontologies/aneo#akonadiItemId> ?reqProp1 . { ?r <http://www.semanticdesktop.org/ontologies/2007/03/22/nmo#to> ?v2 . ?v2 <http://www.semanticdesktop.org/ontologies/2007/03/22/nco#hasEmailAddress> ?v3 . ?v3 <http://www.semanticdesktop.org/ontologies/2007/03/22/nco#emailAddress> ?v4 .

I will work on search during this week It's important to fix it. Regards
That's good news, thank you! :)
Yes for complete message query is not good. I will investigate it. There is still some search type not implemented. I will implement them soon.
Ok now search for messages/headers etc. is ok. Need to improve all search but now it's ok. fixed in 4.7/master. Will work to make other search work (for example specific header etc.)
I will not be able to test until KDE SC 4.7.1 is available in openSUSE repos, building KMail from trunk is a tough job.
not necessary to build now I think there is still bugs but by default we can search so it's a good step :)
I can confirm that the latest changes already shopw an improvement. However, kmail is now crashing everitime I perform a given search the first time. Probably a different issue. Should I submit a different bug or just post the backtrace here and keep it all together?
Yes please create a new bug or give the backtrace thanks
(In reply to comment #15) > Yes please create a new bug or give the backtrace > thanks Just created Bug 27930 for this. Cheers and thanks.
Search not working on KDE SC 4.9 beta 1.
I can confirm this with both kubuntu-ppa/beta packages and sources compiled from git master.
I can see that search is finding some results using KDE SC 4.9RC1. It's only showing a limited amount of results, though. I searched for an email with a subject I already knew existed; the email is a few months old and it didn't show up in the search. When I search for something that I know exists and is newer then I can get proper results. In the Maintenance tab of the folder properties I can see that it says the folder was indexed a few days ago. Anyway, glad to see that searching is making progress. Thank you for this and keep up the good work.
I am seeing this on Fedora17 x86_64 - KDE 4.9RC2. Downgrading virtuoso-opensource to version 6.1.4 and search in Kmail now works again and fast.. Of note the results of my test search that was empty when running 6.1.5 where shown after the downgrade to 6.1.4.
An update of virtuoso-opensource to 1:6.1.6-0.1.rc2 seems to have fixed this with my initial testing. KDE 4.9/F17 x86_64

search not working for opensuse 12.2 kde 4.8.5 kmail 4.8.5 pbhat@linux-8ddu:~> rpm -qa|grep virtuoso virtuoso-drivers-6.1.6-3.4.1.i586 soprano-backend-virtuoso-2.7.6-2.1.2.i586 virtuoso-server-6.1.6-3.4.1.i586
4.9.2 (under Arch) still has the problem.
I can confirm that this is still a problem with 4.9.2 and master. I was looking at the code and it seems that the problem may even be in the akonadi code that performs the search.
Other issues that may have a common cause: - Searching for a specific message status like "Important" only ever returns the unread messages. - Searching for messages arrived in the last three days returns all my messages.
This is a debug output from all processes with 'mail' context in name. I have started kmail, invoked search dialog (S), printed a letter in the search context field and clicked search button. At the end of fragment below you will find two interesting notes about - disabled code, and - "" (empty string) context field content. kmail2(26429) KMKernel::openReader: kmail2(26429) MessageList::StorageModel::StorageModel: Using model: Akonadi::EntityTreeModel kmail2(26429) Nepomuk::ResourceWatcher::start: Successfully connected to watch service kmail2(26429) KMail::KMSystemTray::KMSystemTray: Initting systray kmail2(26429) MessageList::Core::View::resizeEvent: Resize event enter (viewport width is 235 ) kmail2(26429) MessageList::Core::View::resizeEvent: Resize event enter (viewport width is 1108 ) kmail2(26429) KSieveUi::Vacation::Vacation: Vacation: found url " "" " kmail2(26429) MessageList::Core::View::resizeEvent: Resize event enter (viewport width is 1108 ) kmail2(26429) MailCommon::SearchRuleWidget::setRule: ( ""Subject" <contains> """ ) kmail2(26429) KMail::SearchWindow::SearchWindow: AKONADI PORT: Disabled code in KMail::SearchWindow::SearchWindow(KMMainWidget*, const Akonadi::Collection&)
I can confirm that the advanced search does not find every message which contains a keyword. It seems that only a subset of the results are shown. This may be related to IMAP (see bug: 223813 ). another bug that might be related to this one: 258676 using KDE 4.10.5 on Gentoo
(In reply to comment #28) > This may be related to IMAP (see bug: 223813 ). The issue takes place with POP3 accounts.
It also occurs with local mail files and maildirs.
I made a lot of improvment in 4.11.2 and 4.12 Will continue to improve search
Search works better here after baloo port.
Hussam, please, would you be a little more elaborate? Frankly, I don't understand "better". I understand "does work" or "doesn't work" :) In other words, can you be absolutely sure current search finds *all* occurrences of the search context among thousands of messages?

I understand "does work" or "doesn't work" :) In other > words, can you be absolutely sure current search finds *all* occurrences of > the search context among thousands of messages? Searching for keywords in email subjects now always works. Previously it randomly failed. Searching for keywords in "Body of Message" now works in emails that are filtered to specific folders but not in the top "inbox" folder. This is when I do "Tools -> Search" and search only in "Local Folders/inbox" but with "Include sub-folders" enabled.
it is still broken for me in 4.13.0 with baloo backend. when i do a a search in the quickfilter or in the general search dialog over all folders, a mail that is located in my send folder is never found. i tried different matching strings, the from, to and subject, fields. The message is never listed. it is much better than before baloo, but is is still not completely working.
Search and quick filtering doesn't work in 4.14.1 I try to filter after info@twitter.com but get a lot of messages where this string is not included. Restricting the search to "From" works. Restricting it to the body should gives a lot none twitter e-mails but no twitter e-mail. Filtering is still a disaster! How did you code this? Normally "If a=b then" should work in any programming language. Or do you roll the dice?
I searched for "info@twitter.com" in the whole message and "vmware" only in the From header field. This should return an empty list but I got 36 of 53 VMWare messages.
I'm having the same problem with 4.14.1 under debian jessie. Immediately returning no search results no matter what I type. Part of me wants to say this is the last straw with kmail2, but I've said it before too much already. I think the only reason I've been staying with it is because of the convenience of kde's kioslaves. It makes me sad because kmail1 was one of my *favourite* applications.
Same issue here: kmail2 5.0.1 KDE Frameworks 5.14.0 Qt 5.5.0 (built against 5.5.0) I've only one result for every query I try.
Just the same, with the same configuration as Robert Scott (kmail 4.14.1, Debian Jessie, all KDE packages installed through package system). Searchs finish almost instantly, but always with empty results. Tried selecting search folder manually, include and don't include subfolders and several other options, but the search was always instantaneous and empty.

Bug 353675 probably describes what's going on when this bug occurs. Bug 353675, Comment 3 describes the cure. Daniel committed the fix before the 16.12.1 release, so this version should be unaffected. I set this bug to fixed for now. If it still happens to you, dear reader, in version 16.12.1 (a.k.a. 5.4.1), please report back and I'll reopen. If you do, please take care not to mix up this bug with one of the other search-related bugs currently around, since we have other reports for these. Ideally, you'd make sure that *every* search fails, especially the first one after a reboot (or restart of akonadi/kmail). Not being able to do subsequent searches, or not being able to edit search criteria of existing search folders, or even searching in the message body or using the "does not contain" filter... those are all different bugs that should not be discussed here. Btw, without Daniel's comment I would mark this as WORKSFORME, because it works for me on 16.12.1. It did not work in older versions in my setup.
