PowerMail has never done string searches, it has always done indexed searches. It used to search only for the exact word entered, now it can accept a wildcard at the end of a word. That is not a regression. Note that, although string searches are more flexible than indexed searches, each time a file doubles in size, the string search takes twice as long. With large files, indexed searches are very much faster: that is one of PowerMail's advantages.
