+* quick search
+---------------------------------
+    This feature allows one to define criteria that messages have
+    to match in order to be displayed in the summary view pane.
+    Search types titled From, Subject and To are self explanatory.
+    Search type extended allows one to use Sylpheed's powerful
+    filtering engine to select messages. Examples:
+    from regexpcase "foo"
+    subject regexp "Bug" & to regexp "sylpheed-claws"
+
+    Additionally, it is possible to use simpler yet equally
+    powerfull patterns for message selections. Mutt users will
+    immediately recognize most of the available patterns:

+    b        S          messages which contain S in the message body

+    # means number
+    S means regexp string
+
+    It is possible to use logical operators AND (&), OR (|) and
+    NOT (! or ~). Case sensitive search is achieved with %.
+    Examples:
+    T                  marked messages
+    U                  unread messages
+    f "john beavis"    messages from john beavis
+    %f "John Beavis"   messages from John Beavis (case sensitive)
+    ~s foo             messages which do not have foo in the subject
+    f foo & ~s bar     messages from foo that do not have bar in thesubject
