How can you do an exact phrase search in Thunderbird
In other search engines, if you put quotation marks around a phrase, it search for that exact phrase, but this does not seem to work with Thunderbird. Is there a more sophisticated search engine that is an add-on?

Try TotalQuickFilter. You can find quoted strings, negate both quoted phrases and unquoted terms, and more. However, it is an enhancement for the QuickFilter functionality (single folders) and not for cross folder searches.
I did a search on TotalQuickFilter under Addons and came up with nothing - where is this to be found?
I have now found it by doing a general search on Google. Strange that it did not come up on the search within Thunderbird
I didn't know about that one.
Here is something similar, which allows logical constructs in the search expression, regular expressions, and having just tried it, I can report it supports a quoted search expression too. "XYZ stage err" found me precisely "XYZ stage error" and eliminated multiple many other references to "XYZ stage"
