Thunderbird 60.5.1 german on w10_64_Home_Version1809:

I want to search all mails with a date witten (eg: 20.02.2019) within the text (not the sent-date!). 

If I enter the date in the search-field (ctrl-k) Thunderbird finds all mails with the text "2019" in and not the exact string ("20.02.2019"). Any idea?

Using "20.02.2019" no success..., using '20.02.2019' no success... Thanks in advance...

Thanks, but this doesn't solve my problem: 1) 2) The search only checks one folder and not all of them. And on toplevel, there ist only ctrl-k search... 3) If I use full text search (using Enter when nothing found), because he didn't find anything, it's the same result as ctrl-k Thanks!
