Mail Message Search
This module enables searching for messages across any record that uses the chatter, based on their associated conversation threads. It dynamically adds a Message Search field to the search view of any model that inherits from mail.thread.
The Message Search field performs a smart, per-word search across a message’s subject, body, sender, and reply-to fields.

Use Cases / Context
This module offers an alternative to base_search_mail_content, designed to better support languages that do not separate words with spaces (e.g., Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai).
The original module relies on PostgreSQL’s pg_trgm, which requires three-character tokens and a similarity score above the default cutoff—making it ineffective for languages without space-separated words.
This module uses direct keyword matching across key fields in mail.message, offering more reliable results in multilingual environments.
Configuration
If your database is very large, you can limit how many messages a search returns to prevent crashes.
Go to Settings ▸ Technical ▸ System Parameters.
Add a new parameter:
Key: mail_message_search.message_limit
Value: your desired limit (e.g., 5000).
Usage
Go to any model that contains a chatter (e.g. Contacts, …). Search for content in field ‘Message Search’.
