Change the full-text index settings (in database properties dialog) to also index encrypted fields and rebuild the index.

… i had forgot: it was already setting …I think that the full text index use the id server and the encrypt field use id of the user … so id server cannot read the body field because it encrypt from the user.
So I don’ know how resolve this problem.
thanks

Oh well that sounds … as if you’re right. I should have given it a second thought before posting. Decrypting the field requires access to the user’s public key, which the server doesn’t have.
It should work with an index on a local replica of that mail file, but only if your user has the right to create a full-text index.

Ok… but is not possible decrypt body field? so … come back.I don’t want to create local replica for user.
I would like the full text index of the server! :-(((
thx

The only key that can decrypt these messages is the user’s private key, that’s in his id file, only.
In theory, there might be ways around it. E.g., in Domino Web Access, Lotus introduced the option to import your id file into your mail database, which allows you to view incoming encrypted mail using the browser.
I don’t know how they implemented it. If your user’s mail file is on a DWA template, you could still give that a try and ask him to import his id file. But I cannot imagine that this is would allow the server to decrypt any mail of that user. It’s a free try.
As far as I know, even vendors of add-ons like spam filters offer a local plugin - versus the server plugin - for users who choose to encrypt their own saved mail.
I wonder if this is necessary anyway.
