Is there a way to do this? Definitely on the near-term TODO. There was a patch to do this in a limited way a few weeks back from Eyal Oren. I'm not sure if he's planning on further work or not. Doing it "right" is a little complicated. > If this needs to be implemented, where would be the likely place for > it? Mostly in scroll-mode, with a little bit in line-cursor-mode to move the cursor around, and maybe some in thread-view-mode to expand messages before searching. To do highlighting, scroll-mode as well. > I keep hitting '/' when wanting search the current buffer, which is > currently for searching all messages. Is this left over from mutt?

What should the global search command be then? -- William
