search used to work fine. It gave me options of what field to search in. Now it doesnt do anything. it gives me sometimes a list of e-mails, IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER WHERE IT SHOULD BE SORTED BY DATE! No idea of what it is searching or searching for, and never gives me results even though I know the message is there but dont know when and want help finding it quickly. HOnesly Google or something else must be better than this. And, Thunderbird never told me about the changes.

What kind of search are you talking about? There are multiple ways to search in Thunderbird. https://support.mozilla.org/kb/quick-filter-toolbar https://support.mozilla.org/kb/global-search
