[Bug 578261] [NEW] search all messages limits to max 400 messages

[Dennis van Dok]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: thunderbird

Whenever I search for a rather general term, that should result in over
400 matches, the search results count only 400 messages or less.

To reproduce: I select the search box in the upper right hand corner; I
choose 'search all messages'; I type a search term of a fairly generic
nature (of which I know there should be more than 1000 matches).

What happens: A new tab opens with a bar chart giving a time-based
overview of the number of matches. Below the chart is the text "10 of
400" (sometimes "399", sometimes much less).

What I expected: I expected the text to read "10 of 1350" or so. The
real number differs with the number of matches.

Why is this a bug: the search box suggests to 'search all messages' but
instead 'searched some messages'. This caused me to miss several
messages matching the search terms.
