My first understanding of this search type was to search in any of the
fields, but as you and Andre wrote, this is not the case.

Thus my question is related to MY example where I searched for
"regine@" (without any tag prefix) - here I've  did not found the
expected email in the results list. In comparison searching for "@" -
here I found the expected email. My question is, how the system react,
if no prefix is given?
