Get Expression Search NG Addon

# Search in XNotes

It is now possible to search text in XNotes. This is done by using the addon Expression Search NG. You can add it from addons.thunderbird.net: https://addons.thunderbird.net/thunderbird/addon/expression-search-ng/

You can search for XNotes in the current folder, and you can use general search to find XNotes over all folders.

To search in the current folder, enter xnote:text (or xn:text) into the Expression Search searchbox to search for emails having 'text' inside the XNote. Or use xnote:text from:domain to search for xnotes with 'text' related to domain/email adress etc.

Expression Search NG allows to combine the search for XNotes with many other criteria: from, to, attachment, date etc, as well as searching for XNotes not containing text or emails not having XNotes.

Examples for XNote search queries:

- xn:subtext
- list only emails containing subtext, anywhere in a XNote
- xn:subt
- list emails containing subtext, anywhere in a XNote. Other words with subt (e.g. subtle) might be found as well.
- -xn:subtext
- list only emails not containing subtext in a XNote (but having a XNote)
- xn:*
- list all messages with a XNote
- -xn:*
- list all messages without XNotes
- ^xn:opto
- list all messages starting with my nickname, "opto" (all employees, here, start their notes with their name)
- ^xn:opto xn:contract
- list all messages starting with opto and containing the word contract
- ^xn:opto xn:contract f:companyname
- list all messages from companyname, which start with opto (written by myself) and the XNote contains the word contract
- ^xn:opto age:60 xn:contract f:companyname
- as above, but list only emails from the last 60 days.
