Unfortunately with my admittedly large mail database this can lead to
significant system hangs because the search will try to locate way
too many messages (imagine searching for the in all unquoted body
text?) before I had a chance to refine it.
Unless I am missing something, obviously :)
You are not missing anything. The body text search is simply too slow
for large mail databases. I'll see if I can make it less annoying
(larger or no delay before doing the search) for large mail stores, but
the real fix would be to make body text search faster.
