This is already possible. It used to be the other way around, that one could only search for the displayed name and not the email address. To prove the current state of this to myself, I searched for "David", who has email address [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Note no David in that email address) and 13 messages was found no problem. I then searched for his email address and found the same 13 messages. So something else is fishy with your search. You should revise it and possibly rebuild the search index. I usually just delete it and let it build a new one. This take possibly a little longer, but it's better than waiting for several hours and find it is still broken. This have happened several times to me, so I abandoned that approach. PM 5.2.1 | OS X 10.3.9 | Powerbook G4/400 | 768MB RAM | 30GB HD
