Hi

Can you give me the usage of: header (regex) ?

should i start like that ("recipient" is used in the expression)

recipients:\.*?([,]).*?\1{1}

or like that (argument "recipients" before the expression)

recipients:.*?([,]).*?\1{1}

can i add any argument or have you limited arguments to a special list like: 
To, From, ccList etc

The tb's internal body filtering system allows filtering the html code,
for body (regex), please allow me to filter in the html code (tags included)
section, for a more precise filtration.

Thank you

If I change options to show Expression Search in the Menubar I don't see it, 
instead I see the first attachment.

If I put it in the Toolbar it makes the search box much smaller than I like. 
See 2nd attachment.

Thanks!


ExpressionSearch 0.8.3
Thunderbird 
Windows XP SP3

I tried my first expression with & without ^anything$
using this method that you've given to me:
header(regex) matches /regex/modifiers
(i chose to move to trash)

Filter Name: To matches: More than two emails 
(recognized by the use of a second ",")


Header regex - matches

/(To|Cc|Bcc):\ .+?,(\n)?.+?,/gm

& then this:
/.+?To:\ .+?,(\n)?.+?,.+?/gm

& this:
/To:\ .+?,(\n)?.+?,/gm

nothing works ..

I even tested my expression..

It would probably help a lot of new users (including me) to make it more 
obvious that there is help available under options. I actually was digging 
through the source looking for the search terms before I realized there was 
real help.

I would suggest the following:

Indicate that help is available in the extension description on AMO. Right now 
you just link to the old doc which implies that is all the help there is.

Add a help button next to the expression field with an option to turn it off. I 
think most new users will happily trade some space for quick access to the 
search terms.

If you don't have a help button, launch help on first install or at least a tab 
with a link to launching help.

Thanks!

Opera,

I never know if i'm going to receive a base64 or normal email .. .

So i can't select the right open in filters between
"Filter before junk classification" 
&
"Filter after junk classification" (to obtain a decoded version of b64)

Please allow me to select in the filters:

"Filter before & after junk classification"

Feature Request: Negate search or search expressions to get all emails do not 
match the criteria.

e.g. it would be helpful if I could filter for unreplied messages by using 
something like
not:status:Replied
or status:not:Replied

Alternatively, having negated status keywords would also work, but would be 
more specific.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Type 'f:skip' in the search field

See all messages from skip in the view.

2. Hit cntl-enter

See all messages in view, unfiltered.


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
See all messages from skip in all folders.  Instead I see all messages in the 
view, unfiltered.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Ubuntu 12.04
Thunderbird 12.0.1
Latest version of Expression Search


Please provide any additional information below.

The filtering works great for the current view, but when I try to expand it to 
all folders using the documented cntl-enter, it does not work.

Please make add-on compatible with seamonkey.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.use IMAP Folders
2.Add header "Received" to the "Search more headers"
3.Use headerre:Received=/^.*10.*$/ as the searcher

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I woudl have expected the IP to be shown that had the value 10 in it

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Thunderbird 24.3.0 
Linux
Addon - 0.8.8

Do you see any errors in Error Console?
No


Please provide any additional information below.

When I use:

headerre:Received=/^.*$/

This works fine, it find everything, yet when I try to find a specific IP in 
the headers I'm unable to. 

Is there a specific JS regex that needs to be used to find the IP only.   An 
example, "received line" would be:

Received: from m10-46-65-193.cus3.tele2.bk ([10.46.65.193])

(IP changed)

Thanks in advance!

If I type "date:today", please filter the results based on the current date.

If I type "date:yesterday", please filter the results based on previous date.

If I type "date:week", please filter the results using the date range of 1 week 
ago until today.

If I type "date:month", please filter the results using the date range of 1 
month ago until today.

Please add new expressions (in addition to is:mark) that will allow to search 
for starred (marked) messages:
is:star
is:starred

Please implement this in your regex registry, it's part of the regex registry, 
and it means, "case-insensitive":

(?ism)


Example:

Thanks

I started this:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24225324/matches-all-types-of-web-addresses-b
esides-those-following-a-specific-tag/24244708?iemail=1&noredirect=1#24244708

-it's the reason why i'm limited in javascript. i posted that regex 
many times & nobody has a fix..

But nevertheless & even though it's complicated to change 
the regex engine as you've told me.

Being able to treat the content of emails is important.

The reason why having access to emails code is that, it gives people the 
ability to create precise filters, if i couldn't access the email's code, i 
wouldn't need regex filters ...... .

for ex: people can't set the lentgh of urls filtering on the html result only, 
the simple internal tb's body filter is enough to filter url strings.

So please, don't abandon this issue.

Great extension!  Thanks for making this.   I would like to use regular 
expressions in any field.  For example, I may need to see emails from only two 
specific sites locations within the company.  A search expression such as 
"re:from:\.(wv|nc)@mycompany.com" could accomplish this, where the "re:" prefix 
indicates the following search should use regex.
Thanks and Best Regards,

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
2. enter any search (e.g. from:tom)
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

No search occurs.  A popup occurs with "please type keywords to search"
(thunderbirds Quicksearch still works fine)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

MacOS 10.7.5, Thunderbird 17.0.5

Please provide any additional information below.

I've tried multiple settings none of which I could get to work. 
In the error consolse it shows
Timestamp: 5/5/13 9:07:05 PM
Warning: XUL box for _moz_generated_content_before element contained an inline 
#text child, forcing all its children to be wrapped in a block.
Source File: chrome://messenger/content/messenger.xul
Line: 0

An enhancement request: search for tags, and for "no tags" (so I can see the 
messages I don't consider important enough to have tagged).

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I use vertical view layout so I got two columns, left one for the email 
threads and the right one for the message pane.
2. When I start the Thunderbird, the icon filters got their text at the side so 
it's pushing the textbox far to the right side, hiding half of its length.
3. If I play around a little with the column width, then the icon texts would 
disappear and finally the textbox would be placed correctly.

It would be nice if you put in an option to completely hide icon texts so the 
textbox would showed correctly from the very beginning.

Extension Version: Expression Search / Google Mail UI 0.8.3
OS: Windows 7

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install TaQuilla 0.3.3
2. Search anything using Expression Search

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I am expecting to see the selected printable column as Expression Search does 
without TaQuilla extension. I have a lot of new column with strange names

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I am using Thunderbird 31.0 with Expression Search 0.8.8 on a Linux CentOS 6.3

Do you see any errors in Error Console?
Nothing specific.

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. View the tooltips (Ctrl-Shift-K)


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected: Clear, easy-to-read type.
Instead: Type that is exceedingly difficult to read.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version 0.8.8. Ubuntu 14.04.

Please provide any additional information below.

Perhaps the easiest to read would be black type on a white background. Black on 
a very light grey can also work. White on black is another possible choice, but 
it works well only in somewhat larger type sizes.

There is no need for the tips to be in different colors.

A shorter line length would also be better. 

Thank you for the excellent plugin.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Send/Receive
2. Notice popup at lower right
3. Check error console

Seems to have started after latest Thunderbird upgrade (17.0.7)

When I click on the "View help document" link on the preferences window, it 
pops up a new window displaying the help document, but the background of the 
window is completely transparent, which makes reading the text nearly 
impossible.

Expression Search v0.8.4
Thunderbird v17.0
MacOSX v10.7.4

Both available bindings for Click2Search involve the right mouse button, which 
brings up the context menu when performing the Click2Search.

Most of the times I use Click2Search, my next step is selecting all matched 
messages.  I would like this to just be Ctrl-A, but as it is now, I have to 
click elsewhere to discard the context menu, then click in the messages pane, 
because now that pane has lost focus (even if the previous dismissal click is 
in that pane), then Ctrl-A.

I would add that Ctrl-LeftClick isn't appropriate because under MacOSX, that 
emulates a RightClick.

Expression Search v0.8.4
Thunderbird v17.0
MacOSX v10.7.4

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Setup your IMAP in Thunderbird in online mode (no messages stored locally, 
local indexing (gloda) is not used
2. Install expression-search
3. Do a normal search on the "account" for some mails inside a folder, by right 
clicking the mail account and choosing "search messages" (CTRL_SHIFT_F) and 
"run search on server". 
4. Do the same on expression-search box and extend search to all folder 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect that expression-search would search the whole account just like 
CTRL_SHIFT_F search does when you choose the account in "search messages in" 
selection box.
However, it seems expression-search, when proposes to do search on all folders 
by pressing "enter", utilizes the "gloda" mechanism rather than the 
CTRL_SHIFT_F server-side search. Accordingly, as gloda does not have anything 
to index (online IMAP), nothing is returned. Search is not sucessful.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Thunderbird 17.04, Windows 7 x64, EXpression Search 0.8.4.

Please provide any additional information below.
With the current setup, when using online IMAP and not storing message contents 
in Thunderbird, I can only search with Expression-Search in one folder only. 
When I ask it to extend the search to all folders, the gloda search window 
appears and of course finds nothing. It shall rather use the conventional 
search mechanism invoked by CTRL_SHIFT_F and extend search to the top level of 
that account (at least, or with configuration).

It would be brilliant if ES allowed searching through headers like - 
header:RCVD_IN_BRBL_LASTEXT. 

Thanks

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. search for Numbers 0-4 in the message body with regex
2. body: regex:/([0-4])/
3. all: r:/([0-4])/

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
-> All the messages, who includes a number from 0 to 4 in the body

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
-> 0.8.3, Win7 Ultimate, TB 12.0.1

Please provide any additional information below.
-> What should the syntax be to search for some string/numbers in the BODY of 
the message (only in the body or in the body too).

What steps will reproduce the problem?
    searching for [ from:"first middle last" ] does not match person with name [ first middle last ] ( [ from:first ] matches, but, looking for this feature to differentiate between contacts with same first and last name but different middle names)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
    expected output are emails from 'first middle last',
actual output is no results

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
    expression-search 0.8.6 on Thunderbird 24.0 on Windows 8 x64

Do you see any errors in Error Console?
    No (cleared before searching to limit to relevant results)

Please provide any additional information below.
    I'm unsure if the issue is only within the 'from' search operator, or others as well. Personally I've found it intuitive to use quotes to group search results regardless of the operator being used (since that's how gmail search works)
