Why does the Thunderbird search for an email with certain information no longer work?

Why does the Thunderbird search for an email with certain information no longer work? It used to work OK. Now it usually fails to find any messages with the selected data. eg search for all messages that have jv16 in either the subject or body text. I know there are several in my Thunderbird but they are no longer found by the find function (although they do exist as found by a manual search).

Thunderbird's global search (Ctrl+K) has always had some issues. hence https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/rebuilding-global-database

You should also note that Thunderbird does not search numbers or words less than three characters well or at all. Depending on how they appear to the tokenizer.

If you have not, I strongly suggest reading this. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/global-search

Using find (Ctrl+shift +F) can offer a workaround for the global search limitations.

Thanks for your reply and help. I've followed the steps to recreate the database (which is now 510MB, whereas previously it was 1.14TB) but Thunderbird is still not able to locate jv16 amongst the emails. Any other ideas please?

did you read the information about stemming.

Thanks for your reply and guidance. No, I had not read the bit about "stemming", but now have, thank you. Having rebuilt the database as the articles suggested, I tried the search for "jv16" again but it did not find anything different to the original search. But Thunderbird does seem to load a bit quicker than before the rebuild.
