[MlMt] Search parameter "is" vs. "contains"

Hi All,

I searched for this issue but it’s a bit tricky due to the common 
words used.

I’ve run into a curious result when creating search / smart mailbox 
rules for the From address. Here’s what I’m seeing:

- “From” “contains” “name at example.com” — this returns the 
expected results (all emails from name at example.com)

- “From” “is” “name at example.com” — this returns *zero* 
results

I know search rules can sometimes operate differently than expected, due 
to the specific logic, but this one is curious to me. Why would a 
“from is a specific address” not work? Is it because the “from” 
actually looks to search like “Devyn Osborne (name at example.com)” so 
is not solely the email address?

Devyn
