        Hi,
I see. I'm able to reproduce it too. It is related to the search
optimizations made for 3.36.3 I mentioned earlier. The 'Message
contains' uses a search in headers and body, while the 'Body contains'
searches only in the body (and which is lightning fast, with compare of
the 'Message contains' search). The 'Message contains' search should be
changed.

Would you mind to file a bug against Evolution [1], please? It'll help
to track the regression and the change for it.
        Thanks and bye,
        Milan
