I'm having trouble searching for emails. Thunderbird isn't finding all emails, especially the newest ones. I've tried repairing the folder, and I have the message indexing option selected. Nothing helps. I enter an email into global search, and some emails are there, while others are missing. I have the latest version, I've explored all possible fixes, and I'm slowly giving up.

Still having issues with the search function which does not always seem to provide results as it should. Today I was trying to search for "exped" and got lots of results with the highlighted word being "exp". Why did it provide results different to the search term?

I know that you can use operator terms such as ""chicken" and "fish"" in the Search Messages window but is it possible to also do such selective searches in the Search field?

Thanks,

Why did Wikipedia suddenly appear in the address bar at the top and when I try to put in address it goes to Wiki on them not the website. The search bar in the middle that was Google is now Wikipedia. How do I get rid of it and go back to how it was before?

This may be more in "settings" than in "search, tag, and share".

Since updating to the 140 series, the URL bar has what appears to be a nonremovable "what kind of search do you want to run?" activated by typing in the URL bar.

Do Not Want. That's the entire purpose of having the separate search bar. For those who only have the URL bar visible, that might make sense, but right in the core Settings I chose to have both the URL bar and the search bar. I do not ever want searches initiated from the URL bar.

Is there a way to remove this unwanted "extra feature"?

And a gentle hint to those doing interface tweaking and redesigns: Those of us who use "separation" features directly supported by the program — that is, not requiring an extension or theme — would really, really appreciate having our choices respected. That the separate search bar is already selected and visible, or having a full menu bar (and not just the hamburger symbol) visible, should be a hint that there just might be functional, safety, security, and/or disability-accommodation considerations behind that user's choice, and you shouldn't override it Just Because.

Hi, I have problems when using Firefox Android with my Samsung 24 Pro. This doesn't happen with my other phone, that is a One Plus, nor in Chrome browser.

1) I start using Firefox 2) I search something with the bar (google engine) 3) I press the bar to change my search 4) Press to remove a character with the delete

If I searched with more than one word word, it deletes the space in between, eg. "hello how are you" transforms into "hello how areyou". Spected behaviour "hello how are yo". If its only one word a random letter is deleted. Sometimes it deletes a complete word.

If, for example, instead of pressing delete, I touch again the bar in step 4) no bug ocurrs.

Hope someone can help me Best Regards Andrés

Hello! I want my address bar to be simply that - an address bar. I do not want to search from it, I do not want to run commands from it, I do not want to run shortcuts from it. I just want it to take me to that address - and if that address is not valid or available, I do not want suggestions or options. Just an address bar, nothing else. Is this possible? Thanks! -Doug

Can you PLEASE return to us the option to delete Google from search engines in your settings ENTIRELY? I can't get rid of the stupid fucking AI search results that are ALWAYS wrong but you won't let me delete it from search engines. If you'll let me get rid of Bing!, you can fucking well let me block Google as well.
