This module enables searching for messages across any record that uses the chatter, based on their associated conversation threads. It dynamically adds a Message Search field to the search view of any model that inherits from mail.thread.
The Message Search field performs a smart, per-word search across a message’s subject, body, sender, and reply-to fields.
Table of contents
This module offers an alternative to base_search_mail_content, designed to better support languages that do not separate words with spaces (e.g., Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai).
The original module relies on PostgreSQL’s pg_trgm, which requires three-character tokens and a similarity score above the default cutoff—making it ineffective for languages without space-separated words.
This module uses direct keyword matching across key fields in mail.message, offering more reliable results in multilingual environments.
Go to any model that contains a chatter (e.g. Contacts, …). Search for content in field ‘Message Search’.
