I want to search a local folder and all its subfolders using eg "Match all of the following" but I could not find how to get a search containing these modes. After over half an hour I have found that the term I was looking for is "advanced search", available via a keyboard shortcut. I cannot possibly remember keyboard shortcuts, why do I have to log on to my Mozilla account just to find out how to do it? There should be a comprehensive user manual that I can download for looking up this sort of thing offline?

Thunderbird is a volunteer-supported product, provided FREE to everyone, but requires the support of volunteers for the documentation provided. A knowledge base is provided at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/thunderbird

I entered Advanced Search into the search box and found that the keyboard short-cut icon was removed from version 115, but that Advanced Search is available via Menu item Edit then Find then Search Messages. I have re-read What's New in Supernova which is eye-catching but does not detail changes such as this. Please can you be more specific about future changes.
