Package: icedove Version: 31.5.0-1 Severity: normal --- Please enter the report below this line. ---
When searching for emails, searching for $STRING gives different results than for "$STRING" but not in an expected way. For example, in my email archive, when $STRING='member id' then results matching 'member' or 'members' are displayed, with the first result dating from 2014. If $STRING='"member id"' then instead of searching for the specific string 'member id' the search returns results which match 'member' or 'members' as in the first search, but the first result is from 2013. (Both result sets sorted by "Relevance", which is the default afaict.) There is no way for me to figure out how to specify a search for a specific string, assuming that such a thing is even possible. This is contrary to the searching instructions at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/global-search, which domain is the destination to which Help -> Help Contents points. If the behavior in Icedove is different from that in Thunderbird then it's unhelpful to point at the documentation of Thunderbird. I'd be happy to help write documentation pages for Icedove if I can figure out how to use it. --- System information. --- Architecture: amd64 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 Debian Release: 8.0 500 testing-updates ftp.us.debian.org 500 testing-proposed-updates ftp.us.debian.org 500 testing security.debian.org 500 testing ftp.us.debian.org 500 stable dl.google.com 1 experimental ftp.debian.org --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed ===============================================-+-=================== fontconfig | 2.11.0-6.3 psmisc | 22.21-2 debianutils (>= 1.16) | 4.4+b1 libasound2 (>= 1.0.16) | libatk1.0-0 (>= 1.12.4) | libc6 (>= 2.15) | libcairo2 (>= 1.10.2-2~) | libdbus-1-3 (>= 1.0.2) | libdbus-glib-1-2 (>= 0.78) | libevent-2.0-5 (>= 2.0.10-stable) | libffi6 (>= 3.0.4) | libfontconfig1 (>= 2.11) | libfreetype6 (>= 2.3.9) | libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1) | libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 (>= 2.22.0) | libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.37.3) | libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.24.0) | libhunspell-1.3-0 | libnspr4 (>= 2:4.9.6~) | libnss3 (>= 2:3.15) | libpango-1.0-0 (>= 1.14.0) | libpangocairo-1.0-0 (>= 1.14.0) | libpangoft2-1.0-0 (>= 1.14.0) | libpixman-1-0 (>= 0.18.0) | libsqlite3-0 (>= 3.7.7) | libstartup-notification0 (>= 0.8) | libstdc++6 (>= 4.6) | libvpx1 (>= 1.0.0) | libx11-6 | libxext6 | libxrender1 | libxt6 | zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.0) | Recommends (Version) | Installed ==================================-+-=========== myspell-en-us | OR hunspell-dictionary | OR myspell-dictionary | Suggests (Version) | Installed ===============================-+-=========== fonts-lyx | 2.1.2-2 libgssapi-krb5-2 | 1.12.1+dfsg-19 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
