How to adjust the contacts search query in Thunderbird and Mozilla Addressbook?


The search field searches by default only in primaryemail, displayed Name, First Name and last name.
If You open the advanced settings editor: Thunderbird Menu->Tools->Options->Advanced->General(tab)->Settings Editor(button) and type in the search field the phrase "search", you will get all the options, which have to do with searching. We will need the field named '''mail.addr_book.quicksearchquery.format''' for the adjustment of search area.
 
The search field searches by default only in primaryemail, displayed Name, First Name and last name. This is the default search query:


<code>?(or(PrimaryEmail,c,@V)(DisplayName,c,@V)(FirstName,c,@V)(LastName,c,@V))</code>
<code>?(or(PrimaryEmail,c,@V)(DisplayName,c,@V)(FirstName,c,@V)(LastName,c,@V))</code>
where: c=contains (other are begins and is, but haven't tried it)<br />
@V = search phrase
