    I'm trying to find a user by email address but uedit isn't searching on email field. Please add this to the fields that are searched.

    Which "uedit" are you referring to? The online usereditor (;uedit sysop command), '/' searches all text fields, including email.

    If I run ;UEDIT and then / to search it asks "AR string to search for" if I enter an email address, it just redisplays the same record I'm already on.

    the ;UEDIT command to search for text is 'T', and it'll find email addresses. --- SBBSecho 3.38-Linux

    No, it doesn't. If I use T, I type in an email address of a user I'm looking for and it just displays the same record I'm currently on.

    Also, when I use ? for help in the "Text to search" box I get "!ERROR checking /sbbs/text/menu/textsrch.asc". Looks like it was never committed? I can open a separate issue for that if you like.

    So after you set Set Text Search String (with the 'T' key), you then use '{' or '}' to search back/forward.

    The `text/menu/textsrch.msg` file is in the repo and is displayed (for me) when I hit '?' at the Text to search for prompt.

    OK, I found it. Not sure why it would complain about not finding a .asc file when it's looking for a .msg file. I guess it got renamed somewhere along the line?
