The "Search Function" in Thunderbird is a lifesaver over and over again. But, is it possible to expand the scope of its search to include the entire C:\ volume? I've tried using DOS commands but just couldn't get it to work for me.

I am afraid not. Thunderbird's search tools are specifically targeted at its own data stores.

It appears that you are using Windows 10. I too find its built-in search disappointing. I use various third party tools to enhance searching.

If you are looking for text in files, Notepad++ has a useful "search in files" feature.

Search My Files offers a more general file search, with some limited capabilities for searching for text within files.

I like grepWin for more serious search of text in files.

If you like command line/DOS style tools, findstr looks promising:
