No.  I actually changed the default from "Subject" to "To".  But the default search should not be all text in messages since this will be by far the slowest search type for almost all IMAP servers (the odds are much higher that the IMAP servers may cache header information, so searches on headers should be faster).

WOW. That was fast Michael. Can you make 'All' the default criteria as well?

In DIMP, there is currently no way to search within body messages.
There is 'All' . 'From', 'To' and 'Subject'. There is no 'Body' and 'All' searches do not include 'body'.

IMP has a 'body' search criteria and from a user interface point of view most people (being used to GMail and Yahoo mail) expect their searches to look within the body of messages.

Instead of adding a 'body' criteria. I propose that 'All' should be the default criteria and that it includes 'body' searches.
