Re: [Evolution] Evolution search-bar problem




$prefix isn't meant to be entered literally, it should be the prefix of
the installation.  Probably /usr if you installed it from packages.

Hey Jeff:

I did what you suggested as root and got what I paste below--any idea
what's going on?

root lib281:/home/seth# cp
$prefix/share/evolution/1.4/default_user/searches.xml ~/evolution
cp: cannot stat `/share/evolution/1.4/default_user/searches.xml': No
such file or directory








Sounds like your installation got horked.

cp $prefix/share/evolution/1.4/default_user/searches.xml ~/evolution/

That should fix it.

Libranet is a Debian-based distro.

In both this version and the 1.4.3 on this same distro, the search bar
above the message list is displaying incorrectly.  It may be because
I've changed some display option, but if that's the case, I can't tell
what it is.

I used to be able to type in a search string in the text-entry area,
then choose from the drop-down menu to search for that string in the
body of the message, the TO field or the FROM field or whatever.  You
would then see all messages that contained that search string.

Now, I am getting the word "advanced" in the drop-down menu.  There are
no other choices, and the drop-down menu doesn't drop down.  I'm unable
to change it to a given search field, such as TO or FROM or MESSAGE BODY
or whatever, and I can't type any text in the bar above the message
list.

I am trying to discover whether this is a general problem with Evolution
or whether it's just my installation.  Apparently at least some others
in Libranet are seeing it display the way it used to.  I greatly miss
the ability to search messages in the old way, and would like to find
out what's going on here.
