21 | <p> |
22 | You simply choose the folder you wish to search, type in the search |
23 | criteria, and then choose the part of the message to search. When |
24 | you submit your data, the list of messages will come up below the |
25 | search form. You can choose the message you wish to view, and read |
26 | it just like a normal message. |
27 | </p> |
28 | <p> |
29 | Notice that when you are reading messages and then go into the search |
30 | section, your currently active folder will be the default to search |
31 | through. For example, if you were browsing through your "Friends" |
32 | folder and then click on "Search", "Friends" will already be selected |
33 | for searching. |

40 | What to search through |
41 | </title> |
42 | <description> |
43 | <p> |
44 | To the left of the input field, you see a drop-down list of places |
45 | that are possible to search through. This includes: Body, Everywhere, |
46 | Subject, From, Cc, To. |
47 | </p> |
48 | <p> |
49 | <b>Body</b> - Searches through the body of the message. This is the |
50 | main part of the message where the important stuff is located. |
51 | </p> |
52 | <p> |
53 | <b>Everywhere</b> - This searches everything, including the entire |
54 | header for the message. Unless you are sure this is what you want, |
55 | it probably isn't. It can return results that you wouldn't normally |
56 | expect. |
57 | </p> |
58 | <p> |
59 | <b>Subject</b> - Searches through the subjects for all the messages. |
60 | </p> |
61 | <p> |
62 | <b>From</b> - Who the message is from. Note that this might be more |
63 | than is actually displayed in the folder list. A normal "From" field |
64 | includes the name AND email address, but SquirrelMail usually only |
65 | displays the name. If your criteria matches the email address, but |
66 | it is not displayed, that message will still return as having matched. |
67 | </p> |
68 | <p> |
69 | <b>To</b> - Who the message was sent to. This can be many addresses, |
70 | and is not always just one email address. |
71 | </p> |
72 | <p> |
73 | <b>Cc</b> - Same as "To", except who the message was carbon copied to. |
74 | </p> |
