I'm a user of Copernic Desktop Search. It's frustrating that SeaMonkey and Copernic don't co-exist. Any chance of that changing? Or, does SeaMonkey work on TEXT searches in emails with any other similar desktop search apps? The SeaMonkey built-in search is not user-friendly.
The SM Mail search is one of the main reasons I keep using SM; it may not be very 'user friendly', but it's the most powerful search I ever found -- and, a few years back I did look at Copernic, hoping to find a similarly powerful search for the all the contents of my system, but it appeared that, besides not doing that, it even didn't work with SM (only TB), so I stopped trying.
What I find most useful in SM Mail search is the ability to add "match all/match any" (usually the former) for an unlimited amount of 'logical rules' (like "subject contains X" AND "date is before 07/08/09" AND "body contains 'george'" AND "body does not contain 'mac'"), allowing me to usually pinpoint a specific message from over 10 years' worth, distributed in about 100 folders and sub-folders -- and that 'Boolean logic' is very rare among search engines of any type (I suppose it's not very user-friendly, but for me it's VERY useful).
Also, Copernic (like Windows itself) wants to index everything, which SM doesn't need to furnish quick and accurate search results.
I'd LOVE to find any 'general' search engines with characteristics similar to SM Mail Search, specially if it doesn't need indexing, but so far haven't found any. Maybe there is 'more than one way to skin a cat', and I'm missing it?
