I have imported a database with 2 years worth of emails. Thunderbird's search is faster, but it starts with the *oldest* messages; that means that for full body searches (ex.: body contains: "new ftp password") I have to wait 5+ minutes to get to newer (more relevant) messages. I know that I can limit the messages to, say, last 100 days or 400 days; however, I usually don't know how many days ago the relevant message was sent. Besides, that is an ugly and non-elegant solution. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get a big email database 2. Start either a simple or advanced search using "body contains". Actual Results: The search takes a long time (which is OK given the data size), result list is updated on-the-fly (which is very good), but oldest results appear first (which is undesired). Expected Results: The results appear starting from most recent messages. I am doing a local search, not an IMAP search. I am marking this bug/feature request as "major", because it makes one of the most used functions (search) unusable in my case.

Note that I am not complaining about the ordering of the display list. I am complaining about the order in which the messages are *searched*. I am very disappointed to see this bug unresolved for so long. I have just come back to this issue after trying to find another message from three weeks ago. I entered the search term, and the search started about 5 minutes ago. I managed to navigate here and find this thread and write this comment, and the search result page is only half-way through 2008. Please, please change the order in which the messages are *searched*. Searching is not an instantaneous procedure, it takes a lot of time, which is why I presume the search results list is updated live. I marked this as "polish" because, while I am ignorant to the underlying code, I suspect that it will only require a small change in the searching code. Correct me if I am wrong.
