--- Comment #2 from S. Bryant <steve at bawue.de> ---
I'm seeing the same behaviour (4.13.0 on OpenSUSE 13.1).

It looks like the search (filter) method has changed.  I used to be able to
type "[" into the filter field and get messages that contain an open square
bracket - used very often in mailing lists.  Now I get nothing, although the
emails exist.

I wondered if it's being treated as a special character, perhaps by RegEx, but
entering "\[" also yields no results.

If I type "[interest", I get emails with the word interest - including emails
with no square bracket.

Searching for "nterest" yields no results.

The new search method is definitely different.  It ignores at least some non
alphanumeric characters, and can only match partial words starting at the
beginning of a word (same is true for numbers).

The previous version could do these things.
