I seem to regularly have problems with Gmail's searching. Searching for an email composed and sent on a device other than the one you're using to search is a crap shoot. I don't know if it's sync issues but I've had a lot of trouble trying to find emails I know I sent only to open another device and find them.
- mxuribe 10y agoI have not had that experience. However i will state thaT what really augmented my searching within gmail (both from desktop and mobile) is using the search operators. Admittedly i only use 2 or 3 of them, but even just those few provide so much power in really filtering down to the relevant emails. Check out the following reference: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7190?hl=en https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7190?hl=en I had read an older version of this, but i'm sure this version will suffice to help you. Good luck!
- zachlatta 10y agoHave you made sure that your devices are putting emails sent from them in the right folder? I had this issue for a while and it turned out that my phone made it's own "Sent" folder in addition to Gmail's existing one, which completely screwed up search.
- cptskippy 10y agoI only use the Gmail app on Android and the web interface.
- snowwrestler 10y agoI have not had that problem, but I use Gmail natively on all devices--i.e. on my iPhone I use Google's Gmail app instead of Mail. On my Macs I log into Gmail in the browser instead of using Apple Mail.
