Do you use a special search folder to read mail?

My convention is to use the combo box above the message list to quickly 
switch between read mail an all mails for a specific folder, or
even mails containing a specific label which are assigned by my
filters.
I also use the search bar to quickly limit the view to messages
containing a specific subject. That displays only the thread.
Works very nicely with 2.28.4.

I am reluctant to use those virtual search folders for regular mail
reading, because my experience was that the update of the virtual
folders does not work cleanly (up to 2.28.x), i.e. is buggy.
