Today I installed WDS 3.0 beta2. I had the same problem with v2.6.5
When I search for (for example) from:hp my results are not complete. (some mails with @hp.xxx in de fromaddress are not showed.)
When I search for (for example) from:hp.com I've no results at all.
A quote from the help:
from:name , example from:jake
Finds items with jake in either fromName OR fromAddress, since "from" is a property name for both fromName and fromAddress.
WDS query results not correct

I have found a similar strange behaviour.
I use Windows Desktop Search 02.06.5000.5401 and index my local Lotus Notes Inbox.
Example: There is a mail with the word Meldungsfenster in it. It is in the middle of a sentence with blanks in front and afterwards.
Search for Meldungsfenster --> Nothing found
Search for Meldungsfen --> 1 document found
Search for "Meldungsfenster" --> 1 document found
Why does the search fail if I provide the exact word And why is it successful, if I at least skip the last character Therefore I do not really trust the search results.
Maybe somebody has an idea.
With best regards

I did still more tests.
The problem is not related to from of fromaddress I think.
It seems the search string must be at the beginning of a word.
Typically, a mailadress has no spaces, so it's one word !
In that case, my search must match the beginning of the mail address.
Now, I find the same behaviour in (for example) the subject. Within a word, my search string must match the beginning of that word, but not of the whole subject.
Maybe it's a choice of design ;-(
I'm (still) a fan of lookout, where you can search a string at any place within a word ...

I did some other tests and found the following:
when I query a part of of the fromaddress, it works only if that part is from the beginning of the fromaddress:
Example:
I've a lot of mails from gdvl@rug.be
from:gdvl => all results
from:gdvl@rug => all results
from @rug.be => no results
from dvl@rug.be => no results
I did other tests with the subject field. Tthere you can search a part anywhere in the subject.
I must be possible to search all mails from "@rug.be"
What do I wrong

It seems you can only search a complete word or a substring at the beginning of a word.
A word (to search for) is separated by spaces, and only spaces !! (and thus not a '@')
If the fromaddress is gdvl@rug.be, rug.be is not recognised as a word.
I would like '@', dots and maybe other characters as word-separator ...

I've got the same results.... Incomplete results... However in WDS 2.6.5 they were fine.
Again I understand that this is a beta so we should expect problems of that sort however from the pratical point of view I rollback to WDS 2.6.5
