enthl...@outlook.com changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |enthl...@outlook.com --- Comment #16 from enthl...@outlook.com --- It is now 2023. Obviously, this is an issue that all users will notice when they open `kmail` and want to do something serious. After many times I am pressing the `s` key to open the search dialog box, I decided to take out my reliable partner: `gdb`, download the source code and install all of symbol files, and then try to shut down this "feature" completely. TL;DR: if you want to disable this "feature", you need to modify at least the following places: https://invent.kde.org/pim/messagelib/-/blob/e80b91038ba805682c129c7fa0f6e434220c83d2/messagelist/src/core/filter.cpp#L241-L249 https://invent.kde.org/pim/messagelib/-/blob/e80b91038ba805682c129c7fa0f6e434220c83d2/messagelist/src/core/widgets/quicksearchwarning.cpp#L29-L46 https://invent.kde.org/pim/messagelib/-/blob/e80b91038ba805682c129c7fa0f6e434220c83d2/messagelist/src/core/widgets/quicksearchline.cpp#L68-L81 These are hard-coded and must be recompiled and installed. And after reading the source code, I found that kmail quick search does not only limit once search to a minimum of 3 characters, but also *each word* must be greater than 3 characters. Why is it designed this way? I found the ancient commit history (that's true for 2023): https://github.com/KDE/kdepim/commit/1e416df1618989abd4364247966e621a608893b9 Are there any performance issues? I don't know. But in my opinion, the user should at least be given a choice (to disable this). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
