Search in VF
Hello tbbeta, I can't search in VF using standard search dialog. Moreover, the search does not seem to start at all, but returns "0 messages" immediately. Is this a normal behavior, or a bug? Using TB 2.10.03 on Win2000 sp4. -- Best regards, max mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Current beta is (none) | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/

The normal >search tool should be disabled for VFs. i think search in VF should be implemented (just my personal opinion), because otherwise thebat's search functionality on combined conditions are too weak. even today we still don't have a decent method to search mails whose sender is "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and subject contains "class". -- Samson, using Agent newsreader Current beta is (none) | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/

What is wrong with "[EMAIL PROTECTED]&class" for "Search for" and select "subject" and "sender" for scope? I just used "public-samsonsu-/[EMAIL PROTECTED]&Re: Search in VF" for "Search for" and select "subject" and "sender" for scope on TBBETA folder and found only your original message.

Re: Search in VF
>You can do that with VFs, why not use one instead of search tool? That's exactly my point of the word "decent". since this feature is already nicely implemented in VF, I would natually hope the same functionality (or even more powerful) to be done in "search dialog". Otherwise it is very inconvinient to find a message. For example, in order to find a message with multiple conditions, i need to create a VF and set the conditions in the properties dialog; or leave a "live" VF as "use for everyday search" and keep modifying its properties every time i need. Both are not the "right" thing to do. -- Samson, using Agent newsreader Current beta is (none) | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/

The other point is that if i type "john & class" in text box and check "subject" and "sender", it is not exactly what i want, the condition might be wider or narrower than what i expect, as the program might try to match "john" in "subject" and "class" in "sender". This defeats the purpose of using multiple conditions: accurate search. -- Samson, using Agent newsreader Current beta is (none) | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/

You were probably a more advanced user of VA than I. Probably the same with TB. I got into some of the basic stuff, filtering, and did mail merges. VA was a resource in that it could store large mail base, and I could use bookmarks to find/store important stuff. TB covers VA from and email perspective with VFs and more with the macro capability. I do wish you could do a mail merge from data from some type of tab or comma delimited file. You wouldn't have to jump through hoops to put the data temporarily in the AB. The benefit of VA for me was really the all in one and it threaded discussions pretty well. By all in one I mean email, CIS forums, and newsgroups. -- Best Regards, Greg Strong Using The Bat! v2.10.03 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Current beta is (none) | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/

I agree with you the Search Tool can be improved but, since we have VFs now I assume it is not of high priority. I use a "live" VF for most of my searches now. BTW, can't you set Agent to wrap lines at 72 characters or so? It is not easy to read your messages. -- Best regards, Miguel A.

Re[2]: Search in VF

Second issue I have - since opening a folder 20K messages in my TB! at work takes ages I had to do some shaman dances with folders (танцы с бубном). I'm trying to keep messages only for last month (it's around 4K messages for me). First I've created a VF with a filter to show messages for past 31 days, but since search in VF is not implemented yet I had to create a normal filter (old one) to move all messages older than 31 days to Archive. Now I'm seeing a glitch, at least I think it's a glitch - in a filter I've set "Message is older than" 31 days, but messages *created* on 24 Jun and *received* on 12 Jul are still in the folder. Let me explain - I've been on vacation and received the mail on Jul 12th, so my guess is - filter looks at *received* and not on *created* date, which is wrong, no? VF behaves correctly in this case - looks at *created* date.
