Mail Won't Search

I had the same problem.

A quit & re-open solved that.

i'm having the same problem. if i click on the "subject" heading, i can search by subject along, but if i have "entire message" selected, then nothing shows up no matter how inclusive the search is.

i tried the same search in spotlight and i get mail messages there, so that might be a temporary workaround.

my configuration might be odd in that i have my mailboxes on another partition, then linked into the library. this has worked well for me in tiger, but i'm not sure if this odd configuration has anything to do with the problem.

Same problem here, but my messages won't show up in spotlight either. Clicking "subject" also brings up different emails, but no those I'm actually searching for. This is very annoying, I rely on mail search! Any ideas?

anyone found a solution to this?

thanks, but it doesn't seem to have fixed the problem for me. is there something else i have to do? i just opened terminal, typed the command and pressed enter.

It says 'command not found'. Is this what happened for you?

That's strange. It won't work for me. This must be G5 Imac problem, as the search is working fine on my MacBook. Thanks for your help anyway.

Great find Tim. I was experiencing the same issue on my iMac G5. When I used your terminal command (space before ~) I was back and running.

Cheers.
