Hi, all.

Currently, it seems roundcube (both 0.1.1 and svn version) only implemented mail header search, right?

How can i search mail body in roundcube (0.1.1 or svn version)?

PS: I use Dovecot-1.1.x as IMAP server.

Thanks very much. :)

You can use few search query modifiers: from, cc, to, subject, body. By default searching is done by subject and from/to. So, if you want to search "text" string in mail bodies write "body:text" in search field.

Hi, Alec.

Thanks for your reply. But there is something wrong in 0.1.1.

I used 'bod:search text' as search string, it seems roundcube found it, but it didn't list the result. Please check the attached image. If i use 'search text' as search string, it will list all matched mails.

One more suggestion: Create a <select> tag in search field, so user can choose which part of email to search, like: from, to, cc, body, etc. I think this improvement will make roundcube more user friendly, because nobody know this tip ('body:TEXT').

Thanks for your hard work. :)

I created two tickets for this issue, hope they will be fixed in feature:

http://trac.roundcube.net/ticket/1485612 Add a drop-down menu of parts in email in search field, e.g. subject,

from, to, body, etc.

http://trac.roundcube.net/ticket/1485614 Roundcube-0.1.1 doesn't list search result.

Thanks again. :)
