OTOS what an average user expects from search is obviously the
$thorough_search=yes behaviour. More: The average user can't even
imagine it is possible search works so poorly as it works by default,
failing to find umlauts when message and term are different charsets,
failing to find words in encoded or encrypted messages, und so weiter.
This can lead to difficult to track errors, possibly with grave
consequences, such as untriggered hooks. And when it remains apparently
random and unexplainable, let some people feel Mutt is just unreliable.
I use $thorough_search=yes always, and unset it temporarily only
when I want to specifically locate raw Lef=E8vre. My humble: Change
default, and remove var.
Bye! Alain "radical" Bench.
