Oh? I have, I found Claws to have quite advanced search, filters, actions etc. It's one of the main reasons I switched :-)
Here's a screenshot of claws extended search:
Nothing in particular jumps out at me that you can't do in t-bird. Did you find something specific? In t-bird, the handiest thing is the toolbar 'search all messages' box that is very fast and does partial matches as you type. But, for non-work mail these days I just use a free gmail account and google obviously knows how to search.
The last time claws was mentioned on the list, I decided to try it. Besides being very slow in handling large folders, it crashed on me several times. I have many large mail folders with over 60,000 messages that thunderbird handles just fine. I am able to do server side searches with no problem on the large folders. I've never found another mail client that reasonably handles this and it's reasonably fast too. No, I don't keep local indexes for those folders.
