As of late I’ve been running into problems locating the emails I am looking for. Before I was able to type a keyword or two and I could easily find the emails I was searching, but now the amount of similar emails has made search a more cumbersome task.
Gmail offers advanced search features that allow users to more easily find the emails they are looking for. I particularly use a lot the search feature that allows searching all emails with an attachment.
As users begin to have gigabytes worth of emails in their mailboxes easy searches won’t do the trick any more. Hopefully Google will begin developing a search method that weights many factors and displays relevant search results (sort of like their web search).
Here is a list of advanced search operators available for Gmail for a quick easy reference: (obtained from the (https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=7190 “Gmail support: Using advanced search”))
