Default Search Scope for Toolbar Search is Broken

#3249

I'm a MailMate Patreon and I have Version 1.14 (5964) installed.

I desperately want the default search scope to be "Common Headers or Text" (because the default seems to be "Common Headers or Unquoted Text" and it misses many important emails in my search).

So I started messing around with the default search arguments described at https://manual.mailmate-app.com/view and I've broken my default search and cannot get it to return even to normal

I've tried all of the following commands Terminal and restarted MailMate after each attempt, however none of them worked and search is broken:

defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmDefaultSearchScope -string "common headers or text"
defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmDefaultSearchScope -string "Common Headers or Text"
defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmDefaultSearchScope -string "Common Headers or Body"
defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmDefaultSearchScope "Common Headers or Text"
defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmDefaultSearchScope Common Headers or Text
defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmDefaultSearchScope Commonplus*
defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmDefaultSearchScope Commonplus
defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmDefaultSearchScope Message
defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmDefaultSearchScope m
defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmDefaultSearchScope reset

What Terminal commands could I use to switch the defaults between "Common Headers or Unquoted Text" and "Common Headers or Text"

Thanks!

    I figured it out and fixed it on my own. It seems the strings are listed in the file located at: /Applications/MailMate.app/Contents/Resources/specifiers.plist

    Here is the working default Terminal statement to do what I was hoping for above:

    defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmDefaultSearchScope -string "#commonplus"

    Thanks!
