I search by e-mail from the web interface often. Since upgrading to 6.0.1 from 5.0.18, I noticed the search wasn't working properly. It seems to search by string fine, but not by e-mail.
Code:
zimbra@zimbra:~$ zmmailbox -z -m archive search -l 25 "in:inbox from:<cdenley@mydomain.com>"|grep "[0123456789]*\."|wc -l
25
zimbra@zimbra:~$ zmmailbox -z -m archive search -l 25 "in:inbox from:cdenley@mydomain.com"|grep "[0123456789]*\."|wc -l
1
As you can see, searching "in:inbox from:<cdenley@mydomain.com>" returns over 25 results, but searching "in:inbox from:cdenley@mydomain.com" returns only one result. All the results for the first query are the same thing I expect to see for the second. The only unique thing I noticed about the single result in the second query was the header had
Code:
From: "Chris Denley" <cdenley@mydomain.com>
instead of
Code:
From: Chris Denley <cdenley@mydomain.com>
It was not the first or last result in the first query.
