Sticky Search

Source code - addons.mozilla.org page - Version history

This was done as a request for someone on the Mozillazine forums. It’s in the sandbox at AMO so you’ll need to be a registered user to view it there.

Makes the quick search “sticky”, i.e. repeats the last quicksearch when you switch to another folder. This turns the quick search box into more of a filter than a search, it will keep searching every folder you switch to until you close the search. When switching folders the text in the searchbox is selected so it’s easy to erase it to quit filtering on the search phrase.

Works with: Thunderbird: 2.0 – 2.0.0.*
Latest version: 0.9
