Mail won't search entire message

my mail program will only search using title, sender or receiver, not the entire message. any idea why?
thanks...

So today, for no particular reason, I attempted to perform a search using the Entire Message option, which—for as long as I can remember—produced no results. Now, it simply works.
While I haven't tested it is some time, and have applied both the Mac OS X 10.4.5 Update weeks ago and a Security Update early last week, I have made no other changes to my configuration. Suddenly, it works: and, for no apparent reason. Wish I could tell you just what I might have done to 'fix' this…

  • Mail search won't search Entire Message

    When I type anything into the search bar in mail, and have it select to search Entire Message, it won't find anything. Even if I only type 2 characters, it won't find it.
    In the SpotLight System Preference, I tried adding the whole drive to the privacy pane and then removing it.

    I had this problem too - I can't believe that now at 10.5.8, Apple STILL haven't sorted this out.
    I have eventually managed to get search back again (don't want to speak too soon though). Among other things, I did mdimport ~/Library/Mail following the advice in http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5934412#5934412. However, I don't know if this actually had any particular effect, as Spotlight seemed to start a new index run after I had done this (which presumably would override the effects of the specific import).
    I have tried most things mentioned - rebuild mailbox, delete Envelope Index after quitting Mail, all sorts of variants of turning Spotlight or different volumes to be indexed or not on or off.
    I have not tried (because I don't think they are likely to have any effect) deleting the preferences, switching off and on again, resetting PRAM etc.
    I have tried searching for duplicate Mail copies, and searching for .metadataneverindex and disk utility checking permissions on the volumes and manually on the mail folders, and checking by looking that the mail folders are not packages, but come on, I don't think any of these are likely.
    Personally, I think it was the virgin sacrifice that fixed it.

  • Search entire message not working in Mail, but Spotlight works.

    I am having a problem where my mail App is not searching the entire body of the message any more. I installed Lion soon after it was released, and I believe that it has been working up until recently.
    If I do a search, it won't search the message body, and gives me no option to search for "Message contains" (just "People" and "Subjects"). If search for subject "foo" and then click on the "Subject" pull down menu, it shows "Subject" and "Entire Message", but "Entire Message" is greyed out.
    I've done a lot of web searching and most people with similar problems had problems with Spotlight.
    If I do a Spotlight search, it does find all of the mail messages correctly. Its just the Mail app that won't let me search.
    I haven't tried re-indexing spotlight yet because spotlight seems to be working okay.
    Note that all of my mail accounts are "POP" accounts with the mail stored locally on my machine.
    Has anyone else encountered this?
    Thanks,
    Ron

    I should have tried this before posting, but a reboot fixed my problem.

  • Mail no longer does Entire Message search

    I am no longer able to get Mail to do an "Entire Message" search. When I type a word in the Search box, the 'Entire Message' button appears "grayed out", and the only options available with All Mailboxes are From, To, and Subject. I did a Rebuild, I checked the settings in Preferences for searching Trash, Junk, Encrypted Messages (not that those should matter), I'm using a POP server, etc This seems to have just started since the 10.5.7 update. (help! thanks <Edited by Host>)

    bbbbobbb,
    Quit Mail, open System Preferences>Spotlight>Privacy, and add your Macintosh HD to the list. Wait a couple of minutes, and then remove your Macintosh HD from the Privacy list. You should notice (after a short delay) that Spotlight is reindexing your HD. After Spotlight completes the index, open Mail and see if your search works.

  • Mail will no longer search "Entire Message". That option is grayed out. Why?

    How do I get Mail to search "Entire Message". That option suddenly is grayed out.

    A SMTP is a server for sending messages, and not as an Incoming server.  Do you mean an IMAP server?
    I did not mean it was for a single message, but the fact that you had a single message in local storage turned the option on, but it could only have search the messages that were in local storage.
    Check again in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced what is selected regarding Keep copies of Messages?

  • "search entire message" button in mail is sometimes grayed out

    Hi, Recently I've noticed that sometimes when I do a search in mail the button to search entire message is grayed out and unclickable.  This started happening in the last few days.  Just a minute ago I tried to do a search and the button was gray, then I went to Safari and logged into Apple support, went back to mail and typed a new search, and all of sudden the button is clickable again.  Any ideas?  Running 10.6.7 on a 15" Macbook Pro.  Thanks...

    Ernie,
    I collected the info you require - see below. Along the way I deduced that the problem may be a corrupted Spotlight index. As you'll see below attempting to remove Library or Mail from the index failed. I am currently rebuilding the entire volume index...
    Repair permissions - log shows no fixes. Search still fails...
    POP-<email> varies from 14.7MB down to 120kb.
    Typically the root level of POP-<email> is
    Deleted Messages.mbox
    Sent Messages.mbox
    Drafts.mbox
    INBOX.mbox
    Junk.mbox
    Some account also have "MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2"
    The root level of INBOX.mbox is typically:
    Info.plist [not always]
    Messages
    POP-steve%[email protected]
    has top level
    Deleted Messages.mbox
    Drafts.mbox
    INBOX.mbox
    Junk.mbox
    MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded
    MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2
    Sent Messages.mbox
    with INBOX.mbox top level of
    content_index
    Info.plist
    mbox
    mbox.SKindex
    mbox.SKindex.isValid
    Messages
    tableofcontents
    I deleted the out of date indexes, etc.
    Spotlight prefs, Privacy, add ~/Library/Mail
    "Privacy List Error
    The item couldn't be added or removed because of an unknown error."
    Same Mail operation worked on MBP -- also on MBP Library folder.
    Try MacPro Library - same error.
    Delete entire MacPro index. More to follow on whether this is the fix...

  • Search 'Entire Message' in Mail on network account.

    Hello -
    Recently an issue has come up where my users are unable to choose the "Entire Message" option when performing a search in Mail.  "From", "To" and "Subject" all work fine.
    All of my users are running latest updates of 10.6 and 10.7 and all are on network accounts.  This is not a new problem, but it's a new question that came up a few months ago and I've been scraping for an answer since then.
    -I understand that for the "From, To and Subject" search options, Mail handles them separately in the Envelope Index file.
    -Spotlight is responsible for the Entire Message option.
    -I had to force spot light to index the user folder through terminal using mdutil and specifying "~/".  The user folders are not on local storage so Spotlight ignores them.
    After forcing mdutil to index - a spotlight search will return results as I would expect - searching entire message but, Mail still does not allow for the Entire Message search option.
    Please let me know if more information would help.  Thank you in advance.

    Maybe I just needed to talk it out, but I think I've sorted it out on my own.
    I went to the Account Prefs > Offending Mailbox and under the heading:
    "Keep copies of messages offline for viewing" from "Dont Keep Any..." to "All..."
    Then I went to Mailbox>Rebuild in the menubar and Bang!
    Results!
    Now I'm just waiting for the rebuild to finish to see what kind of hit my HD is going to take.

  • 10.6.7 apple mail - search 'entire message' is greyed out

    10.6.7 apple mail - search 'entire message' is greyed out
    can't use it - other choices ok
    was working yesterday...
    hw do I get it back?

    See the discussions at:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15146088#15146088
    Can be temporary with POP perhaps, but should work.  With IMAP, it is required that copies of messages be kept for local searching.
    More info, please.

  • Spotlight / search entire message stopped working!?

    Hi, whenever I type anything into the search bar, and I have 'entire message' selected, it ALWAYS returns 0 results.
    Even when it blatantly should.
    Any ideas folks?
    thanks in advance

    Telling Spotlight to re-index the disk might have solved your problem:
    Re: Search Entire Message Not Working After Fresh OS Install
    Deleting anything shouldn't have to be necessary. If it "fixed" your problem it could be just because that caused Spotlight to update the index accordingly.
    What is weird about the other thread Ernie was referring to is that Mail couldn't find messages that Spotlight could, which I still don't know whether was also your case or not. I troubleshooted a similar case a few weeks ago, which I believe was caused by permissions issues. Unfortunately, the OP didn't provide feedback as to whether what I suggested there fixed anything or not:
    Spotlight non-functional

  • "Search Entire Message" not working in Mail

    This week my company switched to a new hosting provider and now I'm having trouble configuring Mail.app to search my emails.
    The new accounts are IMAP accounts hosted by GoDaddy. They connect perfectly, send and receive perfectly. In the account settings for each one I have set it to keep offline copies of all messages and attachments. I've checked the /Users/myaccount/Library/Mail folder and all accounts are listed and all messages are present as .emlx files, which I can open individually. If I search using subject/from/to fields, everything works perfectly.
    I have tried rebuilding the mailbox through the Mailbox > Rebuild menu with no change.
    I have tried re-indexing the folder using spotlight, by dragging the folder into the Privacy tab and then back out. I did this both with the Mail folder and with an individual inbox folder within that, also with no change.
    All five accounts are behaving the same way. I'm at a loss, and this is pretty important functionality when there are hundreds of emails coming through the office each day.
    This search function worked perfectly on the old POP accounts.
    Thanks!

  • Can't search "entire message" in Leopard mail

    Since installing Leopard last night, I can't search my mailboxes by "entire message"!!! The "Entire Message" filter text is greyed out. Anyone else have this issue? Any ideas?

    You realize that you are in the Tiger forum area. Leopard has its own forum:

  • Upgraded to 10.6.8 now Mail won't search

    The top right search box in Mail does not seem to work after the latest upgrade to 10.6.8. It seems to work sometimes but I can't figure out why sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. For instance, I can search for "Bob" in my Inbox folder and it will pull up all messages from Bob. But if I search for "Bob" in my Sent folder it shows 0 found even though there are hundreds of messages there. It is not folder specific though. I can search for a subject or sender name (which I know is there) in my Inbox folder or All Mailboxes and also provides 0 results. Although, to thorougly confuse me some searches do produce results. Could there be some threshold of results that prevents some search results from displaying? Can't imagine that's it as some searches will return over 500 results and the ones that don't show would not have that many returns.
    I believe this is a bug that was introduced in my last OS upgrade. Any ideas?

    Ernie, thank you very much. I followed the reindexing and that may have helped, however I believe I found the problem and it was a PEBKAC issue. Total brain fade on my part.
    When I was performing a search I did not have "Entire Message" selected for the results. I had the "From" selected. I don't typicaly click off of the entire message option, and since I don't typically use that feature didn't even think to look at the most obvious, right in front of me option. Feeling super intelligent.
    I appreciate your help.

  • Option to search "entire message" is greyed out

    When performing a search in mail, the option to search the entire message is greyed out. Searching from, to and subject all work fine.
    Any ideas?

    You can try using Rebuild on the Inbox, but I think I would remove the account, then add it back, and wait until Mail rebuilds its cache of messages kept for Offline viewing. Then test again.

  • How do I search entire message contents?

    I'm looking for a mail I sent containing a word, but I only get suggestions to search people,  subjects and mailboxes - not entire messages.
    In Mail Help it says:
    Refine your search, if you want.
    To change the criteria, click the arrow and choose From, To, or Entire Message from the pop-up menu. The choices in the menu depend on the category you selected from the list of suggestions.
    What arrow?
    I can't find an arrow which brings up a pop-up menu from which to choose "Entire Message". In particular, there is no arrow in or around the search input field or in the search bar.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    doug

    I believe I discovered the cause of the problem. Lion is re-indexing everything for Spotlight.
