Global Search in Thunderbird not work
Global search in Thunderbird does not work. I am trying to find a letter containing the text I am looking for ... The result is zero. In the browser on the mail site, the search works and finds what Mozilla Thunderbird cannot find. I did the rebuilding of the Global Database as here: (https://support.mozilla.org/ru/kb/perestroenie-global ..). Restoring folders did as here: (https://kompsekret.ru/q/thunderbird-quick-filter-sudd ..) In the work manager writes: indexed ..... What could be the problem?

Is the message in a folder that doesn't have Global Search enabled? Right-click the folder, Properties.
Does the message appear with Classic Search, Ctrl+Shift+F?

Global Search is enabled in this folder !

"Classic Search (Ctrl+Shift+F)" does not know how to search in the text of the letter. At least I have not found such a line in the drop-down list ...

Maybe the global search does not work because I have not checked this checkbox in the account properties: Synchronization and storage -> Synchronize messages -> Store messages on this computer ... ?
Yes, Body doesn't appear in Classic Search unless messages are stored on the computer, or 'Run search on server' is selected. I think Global Search on message text also requires local storage.
