Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to
look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many
changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem
may have been fixed with some of the updates (in fact thunderbird search
has been completely redone!). It would help us a lot if you could test
it on a currently supported Ubuntu version.

Title:
  Unrelated results after a search

Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: thunderbird

  If I search by "Subject", the results that Thunderbird returns is not
  related to my search text. It returns emails or newsgroup postings
  that don't even have the search text in the subject. The same goes for
  search by Message Body (offline newsgroup postings) or by "To" field.

  So for me the search feature in Thunderbird is totally useless and unusable.  It doesn't matter how I invoke the search
    * Edit | Find | Search Message...
    * Right click on Folder or Newsgroup | Search Message...
    * Search box in toolbar
  The results are always unrelated to the search term!

  I have tried this on my work PC and my Home PC, and both return the
  same rubbish results.

  I'm using Thunderbird 2.0.0.18 (under Linux).  Ubuntu 7.10 with most
  updates applied.

  I'll try and attach a screenshot which shows the problem.  In the
  screenshot you will see I am searching by Subject for text containing
  what I entered.... "tree build".  And if you look at the search
  results. Not a single resulting message has the term "tree build" in
  the Subject line!
