The search is for a regular expression, so the "." matches any single character. Try searching for "\.info".

Thanks. Hmm, it still shows all info without their periods too like "information". Same for searching with \.edu and got "schedule" hits. How
do I include the periods only?

Exactly what command did you try?
When I type
<Esc> / \.info
it searches for messages containing ".info" either in the sender address
or in the subject (I haven't checked which header lines it searches on.)

I used ~B command to "Limit to messages matching".

~B searches the whole message. Is that what you want?
Anyway, escaping regex metacharacters correctly can be tricky and also depends on quote level. If you use
~B .info
or
~B \.info
Then the after the first parse it ends up as plain ~B .info because the escapement is eaten there. These should work:
~B \\.info
~B '\.info'
~B "\\.info"

From the index, limit the list of messages to just those with info in
the address:
l ~f info (that's a lower case L)
Ant, you might benefit from my Woodnotes Guide to Mutt, kind of a
starter guide. It covers a lot of the things you've been asking about.
http://therandymon.com/index.php?/archives/198-Woodnotes-Guide-to-the-Mutt-Email-Client.html
Not sure what to tell you. I just fired up mutt here and "l ~f edu"
works exactly as expected.
One thing to look into: how are you accessing your email? I'm using IMAP
and using muttheadercache variable to keep a local cache of headers.
That makes the search instantaneous. I can't imagine that's part of
your problem but it's worth looking into.
Anyway, there's something going on with your system. I'm using mutt
1.9.4 (2018-02-28) and what I've described above works perfectly. Good
luck!

That didn't work when I tried to search .edu with "l ~f edu". :(

My friend's Fedora v31 shell account box uses local mbox or something. I don't know the technical. How can I check? It's pretty fast since he has fiber and a Ryzen PC.
