Hi Marrtings,

Thanks for the info and bugfix, but I was unable to reproduce the problem, and I check out the code in the 'unifiedsearch.xul' file, the toolbarbutton element ID is 'usb-qs-recipients', with 's', because of this in 'unifiedsearch.js' file I reference to this name (whit 's'; the another 'usb-qs-recipient' doesn't exists!); Please, can you check if in your 'unifiedsearch.xul' file the 'id' attribute have the value 'usb-qs-recipient' or 'usb-qs-recipients'? Can you (previous backup of your modified extension files) reinstall last version and confirm the bug? I did my checks after download and install last version in AMO, to avoid differences between my local copies and public copies.
Maybe, your problem yet exists but have different source, like an 'out-of-sync' between Unified Search widget and Quick Filter toolbar (like happen to the user tanstaafl_bh).

UPDATED: I'm glad to know your problem is solved.
I set up an account at github.com where host this extension with source control and a simply issues-tracker: https://github.com/IagoSRL/TBX-Unified-Search/issues, if you have more problems, please report it there or at my email iagosrl@gmail.com or twitter.com/iagosrl

Thanks for the feedback,

Hi sejtam,
I already have a version prepared to be uploaded that includes the clear button, I only need do some tests before publish it -specially on Thunderbird 5.0-; but remember, you can press 'Esc key' twice in current version to clear the search/filter text (first 'Esc key' pressed) and the filter options (second 'Esc key') quickly.
The 'read/unread only'-button (and other quick filter options) already are available under the widget 'options menu' (last button in the widget, or pressing the 'down key' when the focus is on the widget); this options menu have two visual modes: 'menu' (default) and 'bar'; 'menu' needs you click on it (or press 'down key') to see the options; 'bar' is showed auto when you enter on the widget (you can enabled clicking on the menu first option 'convert into a horizontal bar' and restore the menu mode clicking on the 'down arrow button' on the bar); I'm thinking to set 'bar' mode the default in newer versions; in both modes, if the options popup is opened you have shortcuts to quickly enable/disable filter options: Alt+U for toggle 'unread/read-only'. You don't need use quickfilter bar at all (mm.. only there are an option not available in Unified Search Widget: quick filter per specific tags, is on my 'to-do' list).

Thanks for the feedback,

First, thanks for the feedback. The extension "Searchbar autosizer" seems good for Firefox but Thunderbird have a built-in autosizer behavior (different to that extension): when more icons are added to the toolbar, searchbox size decrease; when more space available, searchbox is bigger. I think this behavior is enough and works good, but if you know some cases in that this fail or is have problems please tell me!

Thanks Frank, I read your comments at bugzilla also about your experience with my extension, and your replies to another users trying to explain how 'Unified Search' works. I appreciate it (and specially because I express myself badly in English ;-)
Note that in release 0.4.3 I solved one bug commented at bugzilla: the global search box must be hidden if Thunderbird option 'Enable global search and indexing' is disabled plus Unified Search option 'Enable filtering from search box' is disabled too (this two features disabled means that search box is not needed), and two bugs more about persistent filters (more info in the release notes).

Currently, I don't want modify the current global search with more functionality (like the TB2-style drop-down list) for simplicity, and the 'Auto-show filter bar' option was an easy&quickly mode to allow use the extra filtering features (you can disable the 'auto-show' and open it manually only when needed) but I'm thinking in create another standalone 'box' in the toolbar like proposed in mockups of Bug 570815, with both global search and filtering features; and the 'standard' global search box and filter box&bar may be hidden. I think is the best solution.

Thanks for the feedback,
