| 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> |
