The Quick Filter is missing many matches, even for email created minutes before. Oddly, this only seems to be happening in "Sent" folders. Folders have 500 to 1000 messages. Inbox has many more and the quick filter does seem to work there. Quick filter misses matches in the body text only. Matches subject and other fields correctly. Does not miss all matches in the body ... older messages appear to be matched more often.

I tried normal search and it does find all the expected messages. I also tried rebuilding the global database with no change in behavior.

Any suggestions?

Quick filter misses matches in the body text only.

Has the message body been downloaded for those messages?
