It is; I fixed it and submitted a patch a few days ago, after Not Zed
complained about never seeing the open source thing in action. :-)

For anyone who doesn't want to wait for the next Evolution release, the
fix is trivial and is in files that are parsed at runtime, so an
existing installation can be fixed without installing a new version, or
even having to compile anything.

Log in as root and find the file filtertypes.xml (mine is
in /usr/share/evolution/2.2, not sure if that will depend on the linux
distro, obviously it will depend on the Evolution version). Find the
line:

  (#t)

and change it to:

  (match-all #t)

While you're at it, do the same for searchtypes.xml and vfoldertypes.xml
to fix the same bug with searches and vfolders.

Or just filter on "Expression" "#t" until the next Evolution
release. :-)
