Missing folder name

When searching, the folder in which the message has been found should be displayed in an additional column: inbox, sent…
Or the search should be limited to the current folder.

We currently see this as less crucial as the local/synchronized index allows you to (repeatedly) search very quickly and view messages in threaded mode.

There are folks who like to keep messages in folders, and use filtering to distribute incoming messages.
If it’s impossible to see which folder a given msg is in, it’s virtually impossible to check/debug filtering.

I also would prefer that the folder containing the message be displayed in the search results.

I personally use folders extensively so I see your point.

As a first step we could perhaps highlight the associated folder when a message in a search result is clicked.

As a first step - yes. Keep in mind that the associated folder may be invisible if the list of folders is too long for one screenful.

Related but a different question…

Is it possible to search only a selected folder? This was possible in the ‘Advanced Search’ of old interface but not sure if there’s a search string that can filter to certain folders only.

#8

Yes, you can search by folder by adding folder:Folder.Subfolder in the search field.

Thanks Geir! I had tried this but hadn’t realised that the folder name search is case-sensitive.

The folder name is now shown in local index search results (#596).
