In searching e-mails the search facility no longer has "attachments" as a category to include in the search.
I am using Thunderbird 8.5. In searching e-mails the search facility no longer has "attachments" as a category to include in the search. How do I get this important facility back?
Thanks

I know of three search tools in Thunderbird.
Global Search Current Folder Search (ctrl+shift+f) QuickFilter
Of these only QuickFilter supports the presence of an attachment as a primary filtering action. Global Search allows you to refine the results of a search using attachments as a criterion.
You can create custom search criteria, but I've never found a reliable way to identify messages with an attachment that doesn't also throw up a lot of false positives.
Whatever search you do use, you can subsequently sort on the attachments column to gather together candidate messages.

Dear Zenos Thank you. My problem is that the current folder search used to include "attachment" as a filter option but in 8.5 does not.
Is there a way to bring it back?
