I used to be a Thunderbird user. I switched to claws because it is
much more responsive and not a resource hog. However my search for an
alternate email client started because I felt the search interface for
Thunderbird was either easy and restrictive or flexible and cumbersome
depending on which one whether you are using quick or full search.

I wanted more control over how I search the meta information in my
emails. With claws this is very smooth with its easily constructed
search queries for the "extended search" interface. I think the
philosophy is similar to how GMail search behaves but with
capabilities much beyond that (e.g. searching with external utilities,
searching email headers, support for regular expressions)

I hope this helps.
