Cannot search in 4.2b3

[Freddels]

Well I now have PM working again after the rebuild but the search doesn't
work at all.  I did another rebuild and it still doesn't work.  Any
suggestions on how to fix this.

I'm not sure how useful it is to report bugs with a now-outdated version
of the software.  Update to the latest version (URLs all posted here by
Jerome) and see if you still have trouble.

I have just encountered a similar problem with PM 4.2b1; in my case,
searching on words fails, but other searches (dates, etc.) are OK.
Restarting with cmd-opt and clicking all the first four boxes doesn't
help, nor does opening in PM 4.1.3. Otherwise, PM seems to work fine.

FYI,
It's working fine on mine.

Did you rebuild indices?

we need to step back and take it one by one - because I do not have the
option to do a search on 'any field' and thus think that we might not
talk about the exact same stuff.

a) when you do a search - how do you invoke the search dialog box? via
the menu bar or with cmd-f ?
b) when the 'search messages' window is open, what do you select from the
first popup? what from the second?
c) which criteria do you select (from the popup)?
d) do you enter a full search string or just a word?

Searching for a word in any field still gives me an instant "No item
found" message, but searches on date, etc. seem to work fine.

Why be difficult, when with a little more effort you can be impossible?

still doesn't work - meaning what exactly? getting no results? no search
window opening? which type of search exactly are you trying to achieve?
do you have a folder or a single message selected before beginning a search?

I just updated to the latest version (I was using the latest version 
until today's announcement of 4.2b6).  I have updated to 4.2b6 and I 
still cannot use the search function.

I have done all the rebuilds and sort indices.  Still doesn't work.

hmmm... I think I'll wait with upgrading to the next beta as my current
version works quite well :)

there was a bug at some point that if you hadn't selected a folder or a
message in the browser, the return result was zero. the problem you guys
are having doesn't sound the same though.

I wonder then, if it is a system related problem? Not heard anybody else
having such problems (so far) as you've rebuild all within PM. You might
check your drive with an utility and/or fix permissions (seems to handle
a lot of problems) next to re-logging and/or rebooting the machine itself.

Did you try creating a new user environment and does it behave just as
badly there? If not, you might want to create a new user environment,
then quit PM, duplicate database and address book and move those manually
into the new user environment folder and relaunch PM. This might work.

Sorry, not much more on ideas here how to handle your problem.

Hi,

I have exatly the same problem with the last version.
In the menu 'research in messages', in the submenu with ' subject, from,
to, etc.', when you select one of the 6 firts , the research'll fail.
If I don't make a selection in theze 6th first, it'll be right ...

Have you tried Rebuild Index... option for the Database in the File menu?
The options displayed by pressing cmnd+option when you launch PM do
something different (apparently) and do not help the search function in
any way. 

This is a problem I had with an earlier beta and was only resolved by a
more comprehensible explanation of what was required, from Jerome.

As I mentioned in a message that probably crossed yours, searching on a
word gives me an instant "No item found" even when I know the word is
common, for example, "that." Other searches seem OK.

I have tried searching with messages selected or no messages selected;
still no change.

Also, as I mentioned before, this is a fairly new problem. I can't relate
it to anything particular, since I don't do searches very often, but I
first noticed it a couple of days ago.

I thank all of you who are trying to help!
