Hi,

I have TB version 115.3.1.

I opened the "Sent" folder and tried to search
for a word that is part of the "Subject". A word
I KNEW exists in the Subject of one of the Sent emails,
but NOTHING happened!!!

I used Ctrl and "F" keys. A search slot appeared
on the bottom of the screen. I typed in ONE word that
I KNOW exists in the Subject of one the Sent emails.
NOTHING happened.

I viewed the long list of Sent emails, and FOUND
the email with that word. This method is TEDIOUS.

Does anyone know how to Search for a Subject
word in the Sent folder?

Thanks in advance, John

Use the quick filter from the toolbar (or the second method command+K
which is in Windows ctrl+K).

The quickfilter method mentioned by Joerg, ought to work too, provided
the messages are in the folder you expect (i.e. not moved to archives)

Because that search happens inside the current email.

Use the Quick Filter. In my setup, it is top-right. That will work on
the current folder.
