<title>Quick Search</title>
<p>In the mail view, you can quickly search for messages by defining conditions.</p>
<steps>
<item><p>Click on the search icon <media type="image" mime="image/png" src="figures/search-icon.png"/> to expand the drop-down list.</p></item>
<item><p>Select the search condition from the list.</p></item>
<item><p>Select the scope from the drop-down list right to the text box.</p>
<note style="tip"><p>For the <gui>Current Account</gui> scope, the term "account" refers to top-level nodes in the <link xref="intro-main-window#e-mail"> mail folder list</link>, like "On this computer" and remote mail accounts.</p></note>
</item>
<item><p>Enter the text you want to search for and press <key>Enter</key>.</p></item>
<item><p>Evolution displays the search results.</p></item>
</steps>
<note style="tip"><p>If you start directly from the fourth step, text will be searched in mail's subjects and addresses and scope will be "Current folder".</p></note>
<note style="tip"><p>If you search for messages that are not in the same folder rather often you might want to create a search folder instead; see <link xref="mail-search-folders">Using Search Folders</link> for more detail.</p></note>
<p>If you want to set several search conditions, you should use an Advanced search, which is described below.</p>
