Global search keywords

[3133Alex]

It would be nice to specify search keywords directly in the search bar on Thunderbird. By keywords, I mean something like discord, where I can search for things like `from:example.com`, `to:example.com`, `has:image` and so on. This kind of feature would make the search extremely intuitive

Accompaning to global search options there is also a need for global filter options as well, I´m sure this has already been suggested.

When global search e.g. reveals that an SPAMMER has addressed several mail accounts I manage with thunderbird, I would like to add this SPAMMER´s mail data to a global filter so that this SPAMMER gets filtered into a special mail folder, e.g.  Global-SPAM, and when retrieving my mails or when applying my filters globally to all managed mail addresses, all found SPAMMER data gets those mails moved to that SPAM folder, making it easier to train internal junk filters with that SPAMMER´s data and to have that junk removed more quickly than having to manually make new filter rules for every email address I manage.
