Yes, this is intentional. Beside that many other mail clients re-initiate the search when changing the folder instead of resetting it, the main reason for the change in Roundcube is to create the ability to refine your results (from a multi-folder search) to a certain folder and its subfolders. I agree that for certain searches (like your example wit From:) it doesn't make too much sense but still I believe it's a useful change. Currently you can't disable it and I don't think a permanent setting would satisfy the different uses cases anyway. Sometimes you want it and sometime you don't. But maybe we can find a better way to make this "re-search in another folder" function more explicit.

You're right, there's currently no way to abort ongoing searches. We'll figure something our here. > > 3) Is there any hope to initiate a search in the header of the messages > only...? Maybe there is. But I guess there are some more details to be taken into account and I'd like to keep that out of this particular thread in order to remain on the cross-folder topic.
