Default search type

#391

Hi benny,

Is there a way to specify the default search type in the mailbox (perhaps a hidden preference)? By default, the search type is From - contains, but I would much rather it search the entire message (i.e. Common Headers or Body - contains). Currently, this takes two more mouse clicks, or several more keystrokes each time I try to search for a message. I searched for a solution to this but could not find one.

Thanks!

    Look for “Use as Default Search” in the “View > Find” menu. You can read a bit more about it in this (short) FAQ.

    I'll note that I should document this in the manual as well.
