Hey There,

Hope everyone is doing great!

The body search feature is missing in my Thunderbird. Searching for any text that I know appears in a body also returns no results. How do I enable this?

Please let me know if it's a setting that prevents this option from showing up. ( Just a thought, if it is some setting, could it be grayed out instead with a tool tip text to show why it's grayed out instead of removing the option completely? )

Cheers, Tom

Select 'Run search on server' to make body search available.

After clicking "Run search on server" I now see the "Body" option. However, that produces 0 results though I know the search string exists in the Body. What is interesting, I use my webmail with my ISP to search in the Body (or I guess "Content" as they have it) and there's also 0 results.

This would suggest this is my ISP. My ISP is ionos.com btw. Will follow up with them.

Cheers, Tom
