Using Thunderbird 78.14.0 (64-bit) on Debian Linux.

Until fairly recently, I have always been able to search for strings in the body text of my emails, but now it has disappeared. I haven't specifically updated my version of Thunderbird, but this may have happened as part of a general system upgrade.

How can I restore this functionality?

Chosen solution

Body isn't available in Classic Search, Ctrl+Shift+F, if message bodies are not downloaded, i.e. headers only are downloaded, with 'Keep messages...' unchecked in the Sync. and Storage section of Tools/Account Settings.
