The Search Term should include lookup of sender or members in the header

It would be nice if the Search Term box (search box at the top of the Inbox), could scan the to/from/cc/bcc fields as well as the subject and body. The Advanced search window is still helpful to be more specific, but a lot of users want to use that field to lookup email from a person.

The search logic for email is now far from intuitive. The first feeling is it is broken. Additionally, even with knowing and respect the logic, the work is ineffective. There is no search in the body at all. And last, there is no predefind search for emails in contact object.
Example:

1. You are seeing a bunch of mails in the list in inbox, which you have received from partner XYZ, so you many emails "containing" XYZ and write XYZ to the search line and you get NO emails as a result. The first reaction is, it's broken. And even more confusing is the case, when part of the emails have XYZ in subject. This leads very probably to the false result like: "Dear XYZ, I haven't got the email, you claim, you sent me last week." But you have got.
2. You use the global search button in the right top bar and get contact XYZ but No email or again only some of them, having XYZ in in subject. Here is the situation even worse, because of there is no full-text search module and for hardly understandable reason, the search function in mail module doesn't search in body. But everybody expects.
3. You search XYZ in global search again and the only result is contact XYZ. Click on it and want to find email related with this contact. You can't believe, that such a basic functionality is missing and looking everywhere, where is it, for a hell, hidden. :-)
