[MlMt] Searching on attachment filenames

Glenn,

I haven’t been able to obtain any results with the use of 
Attachments-Name

But “A search_phrase” does give me a result and this translates in 
the search details to “Filename contains search_phrase”

I performed my tests with r5898


Regards,



Marc
