OK, this is quite strange. I'm trying to search through my unified inbox in
Mail under Lion. I have 4 accounts all total set up. I don't have View by
conversation turned on either, don't know if that really would matter,
but... So in the list of mailboxes, both in the classic view, and in the
new Lion layout, I'm set just on the over all main inbox for all accounts.
Now, if I go up to the top of the screen, interact with the toolbar, then go
all the way to the end where the search box is, say I have an e-mail from my
mother... Sylvia Gilland...
So, in the search box, I type: "Sylvia," obviously without the quotes. As
I am typing, I hear containing and it sounds like a menu popping up. If I,
after typing Sylvia, press down arrow, I get nowhere. This is with quick
nav turned off. I didn't say vo+down, I said, just down. If I press
vo+space, I hear: Sylvia highlighted. Vo up down, left and right yields
nothing. The only thing I've not yet tried is as soon as I hear that
contains whatever thing, I've not tried immediately interacting. Wonder if
that's the trick. Anyway, after typing, say in this example... Sylvia, I've
tried hitting return as well. Once I go over and look at the message table,
I see absolutely no results, when before searching, in my inbox I know from
looking, that there were about 3 or 4 messages in there from Sylvia. So, I
know for a fact, something's not working. I dono if it's me just not
knowing what I'm doing, which is most likely the case, or if something in
either Voiceover, or in Mail has glitched. I know when I had that issue
with my fan overheating I did as you all probably remember, disable indexing
with Spotlight, but, one of my friends also disabled spotlight, and his was
working past that point, although now, neither of our system's'll find mail
within the Mail app from the toolbar search box. So both him and I are
extremely perplexed. this! is really bizarre! I figure there's, gotta be
something! we're both doing wrong. the question's what?
Thanks for any help.
Chris.
