Hi again,
I'd like to request the following features:
1.- Right now, when searching for email, the field "Enter Search Keywords" just looks in the body of email (I'm not 100% sure about this). I am aware that you can just refine your search using the advanced options (To, From, etc.), but I think it would be nice to hace a "Search everywhere" field, either in the body, subject, attachments, from/to/cc/bcc adresses, etc (something similar to a google search). I would like to keep the possibility to add additional fields, but sometimes one just want to retrieve any email (or doc) that contains certain keyword everywhere (body, attachments, adresses, etc.).
2.- I would like this to be extended also to the Internet SMTP headers, for instance, you may be look for an specific IP address.
Related to this, I've noted that when searching for attachments, the search function doesn't work as expected. As an example, let's say we have an email with the attached document 'test.doc'. If I look for the keyword '*test*' or 'test', I won't be getting this email as a result. But if I look for the exact word 'test.doc', I will. Something similar happens when looking for email adresses; e.g. I can use the advanced field "To" using 'test' and I will get any email sent to the adress "test1@test.com", "test2@test.com", etc. It looks that it already implies the use of wildcards or derivatives when it should not (in my opinion). I think different fields (body, header, attachments names, etc.) might be treated differently by the indexer/parser, but that's just guessing.
I am sorry if this is already covered in the search tutorial or help.
Thanks in advance!!!
