ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

This really has to work - otherwise the whole setup for an email client for multiple mail accounts, filters and so forth is utterly useless if there's no search function to find stuff... seems to be a regression because it kind of worked before. 

Though also every time I open any search effort there is the complaint that folders have to be reindexed... even if I reindexed two seconds ago...
Comment 1 Till Schäfer 2022-08-31 09:33:05 UTC 
I can confirm the issue here. This is a recent regression. It worked in 5.20.3/20.04.3.
Comment 2 Till Schäfer 2022-08-31 09:36:53 UTC 
To clarify things, the quick filter on top of the message list (Alt+Q) works, but the search dialog (Tools -> Find Messages...) does not.

Also for clarification: 

Checking with Akonadi Console there was no "Akondi indexing agent" activated - I am not sure it is needed but I added it now. 

Sadly this had no effect - still can't search in kmail - filtering works but doesn't help for any searches spanning more than one folder obviously. 

Please can someone look into this? 

thx a lot, p.
