+\subsection{Searching for Messages}\label{searching}
+
+There are two ways to search for the messages in Mahogany. One is very simple:
+just press \texttt{'/'} or \texttt{'?'} in the folder view and then use
+\texttt{'n'} and \texttt{'N'} keys to go to the next and previous matches
+respectively (see also \ref{keybindings}). This allows to only search for a
+string in the message header and to do it inside one folder only -- but to do
+it quickly.
+
+If you need more powerful search, you should use \MenuCmd{Folder|Search...}
+command which opens the search dialog where you can choose more options. In
+particular, you can use buttons there to add other folders to search (by
+default only the current folder is searched). If any messages are found, they
+are shown in a separate folder view.
