When I reconcile my checking account each month, it's handy to be able to search my e-mail for the amounts of transactions that I can't identify by name alone. Gmail allowed me to do this. Thunderbird, for some reason, doesn't. Anytime I search for a numerical value (e.g., "36" or "9.58"), Thunderbird returns no results. Why are numeric strings not searchable? Is anyone working on this deficiency?

I cannot duplicate your problem. With edit>find>search messages, I can search for numbers.

OK, I was able to do it that way, and by right-clicking on my mailbox header in the mail tab. But I can't do it from the search bar at the top of my screen.
