I have both and I use both.

In newsgroups I use the quick filter for searching in the newsgroup I am 
reading.
In many groups people post OT messages about Corona, vaccins, etc.
I do not want to read this in an uk railway group or an uk radio group.
Especially because it concerns the British situation and not the Dutch 
situation.
So I type Corona (or vaccin) in the quick filter and delete the found 
messages.

The search box searches in complete Thunderbird, including mails.
Usefull if I am looking for an e-mail.
But most of the time I get too many results there.
