The default search of Thunderbird is really clunky to use. This addon is a pretty good solution for this problem.
But it stopped working for me :( The addon's filter-bar doesn't work anymore as intended. Weirdly the filter-bar does now overwrite the functionality of the search-bar.

Is this a common problem or is it just me?

Hi dundundun,

I found similar problems on the latest Beta (Thunderbird 58) but working fine on the latest release version (the one you reported) in Windows 7; Do you use another system?

The reason the search-bar get filtering capabilities is an option in this add-on, that you can change from the add-on Options dialog (is an option from the very first version of the add-on, that now I recommend to disable and just use the add-on widget --except is broken like in your case now :-(

Do you have installed latest add-on version, 0.7.6?
You can get it from the 'old versions' page (latest version, clicking 'Download anyway' using Firefox) https://addons.mozilla.org/es/firefox/addon/unified-search-187593/versions/ (for me, the new add-ons website doesn't allow to download from the main add-on page).
If so, please try to remove, restart and re-install it again and let me know.

Thanks for your feedback
