I'm searching for the Term "Galaxy S10 Lite" in the global search field. Only results from 2021 are now displayed. When searching directly in the folder, I get 3 messages from Subject field and 67 messages when searching in the emails body. When using the global search only 11 mails are found in that folder. I've already deleted global-messages-db.sqlite but problem got worse. Before E-Mails from 2020 were found in the global search. Now in global Search only Mails beginning from march 2021 are displayed. In that folder are ober 37000 e-mails and I hope that is not a problem.

Also term "Galaxy lite" also finds only results from 2021 and even "Galaxy". I've checked actitity manager indexing was completed. I've also disabled indexing of that folder, re-enabled, waited until indexing was complete, but still E-Mails are not found.

Please help me to get it working again.

Problem solved now. Set mailnews.database.global.search.im.limit and mailnews.database.global.search.msg.limit to 10,000 each. Now all mails are found. Thats should be made clear, that there is this limit otherwise messages aren't found anymore.

Update: It is keyword search related. "Samsung Galaxy" finds results from 2020, but only beginning from August. "Samsung S10" works better, finds the related E-Mails, total result 65 (direkt search in Folder 111 results) "S10 Lite" does not work finds only 11 E-Mails
