One inbox or all inboxes

Search scope is the most common source of confusion, so it is worth being explicit.
  • If you are inside one connected account, search returns matches from that inbox only.
  • Switch to the unified All Inboxes view first if you want to search across every connected account at once.
  • The current scope is shown next to the search field so you always know what you are searching.

Typing a person’s name finds threads where they were the sender, a recipient, or on CC. You do not need to remember which direction the conversation went. Domain and prefix matches work too, so acme.com returns every thread that touched anyone at Acme. Very short queries (two characters or fewer) match on full name fields only, not on partial substrings. This stops jo from pulling in every “join” and “John” in your archive.

​
Operators

Partial matches work: to:acme matches anyone at acme.com.
Search input with operator chips applied and the results narrowed by from and has filters

​
Combining operators

Terms are joined with AND by default. Use OR for either condition and - to exclude.

Keyboard navigation
