Gmail's search likely tokenizes/normalizes Unicode symbols like ₹ differently than plain ASCII, so try searching for "rupee" or use mail filters with regex capabilities instead.
- sn9 1y agoThat seemed plausible so I tried it and after more than 10 seconds, a search for "rupee" returned similarly poor results. This is really only the latest example of nearly useless search results. I genuinely don't understand how in terms of both latency and accuracy, Google is failing at this embarrassingly parallel problem. Fuzzy searching I'd understand, but not searches for specific strings. In 2025!
