Interesting, I never noticed that checkbox - probably because I rarely
use the advanced search...

But I'm confused by your answer...

First you said 'Thunderbird. Maybe all MUSa?' - then seemed to totally
contradict yourself when you said 'On standard TB ... one cannot run a
body search on an IMAP folder unless ...' ?

So - is there a user pref that can be set in user.js to enable full body
server-side searches (ie for servers using dovecot with fts squat enabled)?

My understanding is that not *all* headers are indexed, only 'Normal'
headers - which is why I opened bug 543956...
