no, if its an issue on 27, it has to be fixed, i just cannot test it on 27th because i have no 27th env. So my comment was that maybe the issue its not present on 28th.
Same issues with 27.1.4, mail version 3.5.6, the search is rarely as one would wish. Wrong messages are displayed, or none at all, very inconsistent results and the search trigger is also buggy. Can't be more specific, just use the search itself and you'll see what I mean.
@handkerchief333 Did you check the normal (full text) search? I do not use it because I think the results are not reliable and the UI is bot usable as file names are cut off.
@ferdiga the full text search on the right top corner is indeed better. By better, I mean that the search works better. i can't say much about the UI aspect. It simply lists all messages from all mailboxes. Filtering by mailboxes and mailbox folders would be important.
A note: the result could depend on the imap backend.
For example: cyrus-imapd could give back all the new emails since the last indexing. This happens because giving back false positive is better than not giving back valid results. Details on cyrus-imap mailing list.
So, I recommend to check your imap backend, how that works.
