How can I perform a complete search of messages in all my accounts without Global Search?
Global Search sometimes returns less messages than returned by "slow search" in a particular account. I understand that because the indexing process may be either incompleted at the moment or corrupted. However I need be sure that I don't miss any messages I search for. Is there any way to perform the complete search of messages in all my accounts? It is burdensome to search several accounts one by one.

I think there is an addon called Unified Search for this purpose. Please search for similar add ons in your Thunderbird Addon Search.
I've tried Unified Search 0.7.4. I makes the interface changing rather than the search algorithm itself. What really needed is to improve the original search (that has a value set of options where and what to search). It should be 1) global and 2) fast. The current Global search is lacking a set of search options. Try to find the phrase "10 Pounds". It will return a lot of messages with "10" and "pounds", instead of "10 Pounds".
