So one of my users noticed that the search has changed a bunch going
from 0.2.x to 0.3.x. That by default the roll down has only Subject
checked (this used to be subject and sender?). Well that was all fine
I added a patch to change the default behavior to subject and sender.
However the user also noticed that the Sent folder changed this
behavior to search on the recipient in 0.2.x. Now in 0.3.x this all
gets to whatever is set by this line in program/steps/mail/func.inc,
$OUTPUT->set_env('search_mods', $_SESSION['search_mods'] ? $_SESSION ['search_mods'] : array('subject'=>'subject'));
First do people believe that this is a good thing that this behavior
is changed (aka is this not a bug)? Secondly I had two thoughts on
the sent folder behavior. One is that one could just change the
default behavior for that folder(s). Otherwise you could setup a
preference to choose your default search fields however this may just
really be able to be a global setting and wouldn't really fix the sent
folder problem.
Thoughts?

i'd like to see a "subject, from or recipient" filter like in thunderbird 3.0 (pre).

You dont need to patch RC for this. You can use my searchbox plugin. I
also have a new version that makes it user-configurable but it's
waiting for a bugfix in rc and probably 0.3.2.

Thanks, the plugin is good however my question is more why the default
changed to just the subject too?
It also does not address the change in the Sent folder(s) behavior to
use subject instead of the recipient by default. To implement this I
see that it would require a bit of retooling the search code, and i
don't know if that could be accomplished in a plugin (sorry still
reading the API docs).

The default has been the subject for as long as I can remember, no
idea why it was changed or if it ever was any different. I agree this
less than ideal, thats why I made the plugin. I think sender is almost
more important than subject. You could make the default to/from/
subject, then it would also give you your 'Sent' searches. Not
perfect, but something at least.
