- Etaoin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+56Wait, you were using an email system developed by Google, and you thought the *search* was defective?
- pastasauce, on 10/12/2007, -0/+29I always do that.
Remember kids, its b-e-c-a-u-s-e. You can also spell it '-c-a-u-s-e.
But if you spell it "cos," smart people think you are talking about smart people things. - robustyoungsoul, on 10/12/2007, -0/+27I searched "geek style" in my Gmail and only got 3 results.
- invader, on 10/12/2007, -3/+26please tell me i'm not the only one that got confused because i thought the parent comment was saying "cosine"
/neeeed. sleeeep. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22That's definitely something to worry about.
- D3koy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Yay, one more freaking amazing reason to use GMail...(not like I needed another)
- Settra, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1118 results
- brayn80, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Go figure, those google guys thought it in advance :P
- samuel514, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5gmail is really full of nice tricks, and the search is awesome :)
- CorpT, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5That's because you're only searching your email instead of the entire web. What did you expect?
- phlux, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4try these as well -

Try "has:attachment" - andreiknox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It would be strange if Google didn't have these search options. I mean, the service is most famous for its search engine, even though it expanded to other domains. And it's not even comparable to the Yahoo! Search function in the Yahoo! Mail. Google rocks once again :)
- ajamer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4I've found Gmails search results to not be nearly as good as a comparable websearch using google
- Dsn989, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Is there some way to search for email with attachments?
- brayn80, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Who said it was news?!
- JohnDGeek, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Now we need to put all this Gmail knowledge into a format similar to
http://www.googleguide.com/advanced_operators_reference.html - just1moredigger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2while on the topic of cool gmail tips...
I found a cool hint today... sign in on your mobile device or other POP program to your gmail account using
recent:userid@gmail.com as your login to get the last 30 days worth of mail sync'd... - Mar1in, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I think Google is missing out on something BIG here. It should anyone to search all mail boxes. Imagine the possibilities ;)
- nostrich, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Alternatively, read the help pages.
- artanis, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I thought this was common knowledge... anyone thats used a label has seen the filter in the search box already.
- tybris, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Way too much effort. I just enter some words that would be in the mail I'm looking for and then I find it...
- danlucas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1using "label:labelname" is pretty useful for narrowing your search as well, if you label your messages well. And remember, when you're in the gmail window, typing "/" puts the cursor in the search box. No need to touch the mouse at all.
- iQuinn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1OMIGOD! Boolean search too! Come on, this is sooooo not that exciting. Google has lulled us all into being crappy searchers.
- happycat, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I know I'll get digged down by the google-does-no-wrong fans by saying this but go ahead, I don't care.
I really like Gmail but honestly, their search is pathetic for one reason: it doesn't search for partial strings. Search for 'con' you will return only emails that contain the word 'con', but will miss emails that CONtain CONnection, robotoCON, seCONdary, etc. For a company whose main product is search, that's really retarded. If you don't believe me then look up 'partial' in Gmail help. Also this is the reason I stopped using Google Desktop Search and slapped on the one from Yahoo.
Thunderbird returns sub string matches, so does Outlook and Yahoo Mail, and applications written in the past two decades can, yet Google thinks this is not a useful feature. - crazysasha, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0why did I read that?
- Crepsley, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2SWEET!
- medecau, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1this is very old, not news
- medecau, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1"Tech Industry News"?
I would expect that to contain NEWS. - wellsandowed, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0you jerks...there a so many people that read digg that don't know every little (and yes, i mean little) trick to gmail.
- diana86, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2yap..google search rocks!!.. hi btw
- Parazitu, on 10/12/2007, -10/+2Hello :)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -9/+0will it blend?
- tudormuscalu, on 10/12/2007, -46/+3This is helpful, cos i once misspelled a /filename and then i stopped using it for a long while cos i thought it just didn't work properly.
Go figure, it does work.
