Description

Search is currently fairly basic.
For example an attempt to search for @apr returns results for apr as well

It should be possible to search for matches of different types (exact, substring, RE...) on various fields (subject, headers, body etc)

Contributor guide

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the current search implementation and reproducing the @apr behavior, then identify how searchable fields and match types are currently handled. Done means the supported exact, substring, and regular-expression searches work across the agreed subject, header, and body fields, with tests covering them.
