User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20051003 Firefox/1.0.7 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20051003 Firefox/1.0.7 When using the QuickSearch (box in the upper right hand corner) the results from searching on "Entire Message" do not include matches found from a search for the same text on "Sender" or "Subject or Sender". For instance, if the e-mail address is "barro7@sample.com" and the display name is "Mike Barron" then quick searches for the text "Barron" using the "Sender" or "Subject or Sender"-type searches will find the messages from this person correctly. However, because "Barron" is not contained in the actual e-mail address searches on the "Entire Message" will not be found. I believe this is a bug because "Entire Message" should mean the entire message (which includes all possible fields that I could search on). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Find messages in your inbox with an e-mail address that does not match the display name. 2. Search on the display name (or part of the display name) that does not appear in the e-mail using either "Sender" or "Subject or Sender" search type 3. Change the quick search to "Entire Message" and watch those messages disappear. Actual Results: Messages do not show up when searched for. Expected Results: When searching on "Entire Message", ALL searchable fields should be included. If not, then you should rename "Entire Message" to something that is not as misleading.
