Stopped working a couple of weeks ago
Have been using this for over a year now, but a couple of weeks ago it just stopped working. I have it set so that if no pattern is typed, it reverts to the normal Thunderbird search.
Now you type and nothing happens. You hit return and still nothing happens. The Thunderbird From/To/Subject options don't pop up and no change happens in the list of messages shown.
I disable Expression-Search, restart TB and the TB search works. I Re-Enable it and restart TB, again nothing happens when I type, whether I just type a string or a pattern.
My TB version at this point is 102.2.2, and my Expression Search is 3.4.3
I removed the add-on and reloaded it, same. I uninstalled TB and re-installed (but did not clean up profiles or anything like that) - same result.
and is there anything red in error console? (shift-j)? please open it, delete all using trash icon, then use the search and after verify the error console, thanks.
Sorry -- I thought about that then did not say it!

I know, CTRL+SHIFT+J
Did that. Tried typing in the search s:abc<RETURN> abc<RETURN> Did not work, and the error console was completely empty.
When I click or type into the search, I DO get the popup tooltip, but nothing happens after that, and the normal TB items that usually show if you just type a word (Subject/From/To/...) never show either.

As a further note on this, I started TB on a new profile, accounts, no addons, not "unusual" settings.
I added my own personal account, and added "Expression Search", latest version 3.4.3. Changed the options to show the search string on "Mail Toolbar", restarted TB.
Same thing, the search does nothing, and waiting a bit does not flip over to the TB search.
Disabling "Expression Search" and restarting TB again allows the TB search to work.
Hello, Just encountered a similar issue noticed when moving an existing profile to a new OS - Linux Mint 21 Cinnamon 64bits with TB 102.2.2 and ESNG 3.6.3.
Symptoms
The symptoms are basically that if I can see ESNG enabled in the plugin list:
- the filter search bar is the default TB one and ESNG pop-ups do not display (i.e. as if the plugin was not enabled)
- in the plugins list:
- at the tile ESNG, the spanner icon (which links to ESNG settings page) is not displayed (only the checkbox and the three dots icon are there).
- if I click on that tile, the usual info in both the "details" and "changelog" tabs do not display.
Workaround
I can nevertheless make it work properly following that procedure:
- disable ESNG
- restart TB
- enable ESNG
However, if I restart TB again, it goes back to the problematic state, and I've got to repeat the procedure again to make it work. If I simply disable and re-enable ESNG without restarting TB in the middle, it wouldn't work.
Console logs (filtered with the keyword "expression") for the various cases:

Same issue here in couple of computers Windows and Linux. In Ubuntu, I'm in version 102.3.3
In the console, here is some copy paste :

Hello @quentinDupont,
Do you still encounter this issue ?
Would you maybe have set Thunberbird in some way that a prompt box or alert box gets displayed at every launch ? You may want to have a look to this fix proposal #66 although your console log isn't the same thing than mine. Are these all the errors you have in the console (it seems to focus on shutdown, you may have something more after the mention of WebExtensions: Expression Search / Google Mail UI startup...)?
Thanks for your answer ! I respond here https://github.com/opto/Expression-Search-NG/issues/66#issuecomment-1498818830
