[Bug 299840] "Find messages..." fails always

[Maurice Batey]

--- Comment #4 from Maurice Batey <maurice at bcs.org.uk> ---
Seems the Find code is not doing a general 'find search string in To/From
field' - as it should - but is checking for a match to the 'pre-@' or 'post-@'
component of To/From.

But - with either component -  it finds only a small subset of what it
should find.

For example, a Find in 'Sent-mail' for "gmail.com" finds only 11 emails:
    5  'this week'
    4 in 2004
    1 in 2005
    1 last week

- whereas a Find Messages on the same Sent-mails in KDE 4.5.2 found 395
matches!

What concerns me is that there seems no sign of any developer activity with
this bug.
  Is that because (I say hopefully) it is fixed in e.g. KDE 4.9, as is - I
heard - the failure to auto-complete email addresses in Composer?

Because of this KMail 4.8.* bug I am unable to move from a KDE 4.5.2
environment, as this KMail is unusable because of it.
