I don't know if non-Linux versions of Thunderbird also suffer from this bug -- in searching for it I was unable to find anything I thought relevant.

This might not be entirely relevant, but an old TB search bug:

I really thought there was a comment saying they'd be working on rebuilding the search, but I can't find it now.

Every episode of Thundercast (Thunderbird podcast), I hope to hear something about this. Still waiting.
