Allow quotes in 'Search for messages with this subject', and ignore attachments in the search criteria
I use my yahoo! email address and webmail with a number of Yahoo! Groups and groups.io forums. As such, I frequently use the "Search for messages with this subject" magnifying glass icon on "Unread" messages. There are two significant problems:
1) If the subject contains double quotes, i.e. Bob has a "new car", clicking the magnifying glass icon results in "An error occurred while trying to fetch the items in this list." and Retry does no better. This should be fixed as quotes are common in subject lines.
2) If a thread / subject contains an attachment, i.e. Bobs new car [1 attachment], clicking on the "Search for messages with this subject" magnifying glass, the search will only return that message. Instead, the search algorithm should ignore the [1 attachment] portion and show all messages with 'Bobs new car' as PART of the subject, Re: Bobs new car, RE:Re:Bobs new car, etc. In other words, the presence, or absence, of the attachment shouldn't be included as part of the search criteria.
Thanks for your consideration.

As with 1) above, a semicolon in the subject causes the search to fail as well. Something to look at.
