Hello Thunderbird geeks. I am running TB 91.6.1. When I right click on Local Folders and Click Search Messages and then enter whatever search term and click Search, the Search Messages window finds some entries (or none) and the word Searching... appears at the bottom left of the window but it never stops. I have tried deleting the Global-Messages-db.sqlite file in the Thunderbird profile folder and letting Thunderbird rebuild the index files which took several hours but this has not fixed the issue. Any kind of assistance will be most welcome. Thanks!

If you have global search enabled (which you obviously do), the "Searching..." in the status bar can be a red herring. That is really about looking for folders. And it is known to known disappear when it should - i.e. its presence doesn't mean it is still searching.

If you got the search results you wanted, ignore the status bar.

But if you didn't get the search results you wanted then you might have a bad folderindex. Try doing properties > repair on some of your larger folders.
