Gmail Search
I recently wanted to find an email from several years ago. I remembered it was forwarded by my wife, and I distinctly remembered that we were at the Odyssey of the Mind 2012 World finals when she sent it to me.
A quick Google search told me the dates of the World Finals that year. It was then an easy matter of searching emails from her in that date range:
from:<her address> after:2012/5/23 before:2012/5/26
And voilà.
It took less than two minutes to find an email from 2 years ago with only limited knowledge of what it contained.
Pretty cool, huh?
Gmail’s awesome search capabilities is only one reason that I use it and recommend Google Apps for Business to my business clients. Want to know more?
