I have dificulty searching my emails for things like IP address and URL's. For example, if I want to search for messages mentioning "127.0.0.1", my search results contain numerous messages containing the numbers 127, 0 and 1. The same goes for URL's. E.g. if I search for messages containing "support.mozilla.org", I get back all messages containing either "support", "mozilla" or "org".

In most cases, the results are so numerous and unrelated that I can't sift through them to find what I'm actually looking for. Especially when searching for IP addresses.
