Enable to perform Search using two or more contacts (To and From at the same time)

If a user attempts to perform a Search with two Contact at the same time, query won't return any results.


The case is: User A is searching in his/her mailbox for mails sent by Contact B in which Contact C was also copied (either, CC or To).

When using two contacts with these two different conditions. there are no results for such search.

This is a really common search made by users, that was possible in Gmail, and now that they have migrated to Domino/Verse, can't continue using.


I'm guessing that the feature "Sent" is meant to only look for mails in the Sent folder of current user, but our users really perform with a lot of frequency such search.


As a reference, in Notes Client you can indeed specify 2 or more contacts / email addresses and it will perform the search for mails which contains all of such contacts.


We tested it on Verse 2.0.1 over Domino 11.0.1 FP2 on RHEL We tested it on Verse 2.1.0 over Domino 11.0.1 FP3 on RHEL We tested it on Verse 2.1.0 over Domino 12.0 Beta 3 on RHEL with the exact same results.

      Dear Team,

      We are facing an issue in HCL Domino where users are unable to perform a search using two or more contacts simultaneously—specifically when using both the "To" and "From" fields at the same time. The search returns no results, even though relevant emails exist.

      Searching using either "To" or "From" individually works correctly, but combining them in a single search does not yield any results.

      This functionality is important for our users’ productivity. Kindly investigate whether this is a known limitation or if any configuration/indexing adjustments are required to enable such multi-field searches.

      Looking forward to your guidance and resolution.

      Dear Team,

      Our users are experiencing an issue with the mail search functionality in HCL Domino. Specifically, when searching using both the "To" and "From" fields together in mail files, no results are returned, even when relevant emails exist.

      Please note: Searching by "To" or "From" individually works, but using them together does not return any results.

      This feature is essential for our users’ day-to-day operations. Kindly check if this is a known issue or limitation, and advise if any configuration or indexing is required to enable accurate search results when using both fields.

      We request you to treat this as a priority and share a resolution or implementation steps at the earliest.
