need strong visible signal that a folder is in search view

Package: Evolution Priority: Minor Version: 1.2.1 Synopsis: Would like strong visible signal that an email folder is partly concealed by a search Bugzilla-Product: Evolution Bugzilla-Component: Shell Description: Description of Problem: I frequently search my Inbox, Sent, Trash for messages. There's no clear signal shown that the contents have been reduced by a search. When you come back to that email folder, the search is persistent and the items are still filtered down. If you've forgotten in the interim that you did a search, (since it could be hours later) you can spend a -lot- of time panicing what on earth has happened to your mail box and how have you lost a host of important messages. This has happened to me about 10 times. (Call me stupid if you like). I would request a feature to put a very strong visible signal on the panel that you're in serach mode, like a big red icon somewhere, or list the message headers in a special colour. Thanks !!!! Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: Expected Results: How often does this happen? Additional Information: Setting qa contact to the default for this product. This bug either had no qa contact or an invalid one.
hey, that's cool, like having a colored background in browsers if you are on a ssl webpage.
