Agreed.  Although I changed it to do an IMAP 'TEXT' search (all text
in message) rather than a BODY search (searching the body but ignores
the headers).
WOW. That was fast Michael. Can you make 'All' the default criteria as well?
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).

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.
