 | whenever I search for a partial email address, the search fails to find
messages.
Searching for "eclectic@eho.org" brings up one message, but searching for
"@eho.org" whether in headers or entire message always fails.
I did not check earlier Opera versions.
Is this a known bug?
Interestingly enough, creating a filter and searching existing messages
seems to work while the direct search fails.
It often seems like the search is never started.

Known limitation: when searching, you have to start with the first characters in the terms.

But it will be much slower. The direct search uses the lexicon already built up of all your messages.

In that case, the "@" sign should be treated like a delimiter so searching
can be done for email domains.
