You can search nested labels. If you go into a sub label you should see the search box auto-populate with that label (including the nested on).
For example I have a nested label "Invites" in the label "Calendar" (Calendar/Invites). Searching "label:calendar-invites blah" searches for "blah" inside the nested label.
- dmlorenzetti 13y agoI know you can search within Calendar/Invites. The issue arises if you know the message you want is somewhere under Calendar, but you're not sure whether it's in Calendar/Invites or Calendar/Rejected or Calendar/DateNotSetYet. As far as I know, it's not possible to search them all at once, just by searching under the tag Calendar.
- khalstvedt 13y agoI agree, you can construct a pretty flexible search system with the existing Gmail implementation. (disclosure: I work at a small startup trying to address email search and archive organization). How many rules do you have set up to achieve your (arguably very reasonable) workflow? However, to perform a successful search with specific constraints, you must either: 1) Remember a keyword 2) Have a label for the particular constraint you want to use Our little startup, SolNovus (http://solnovus.com http://solnovus.com), has been investigating how to make a couple power-user functions like this more accessible. Our priorities are: 1) Fuzzy topic search: make keywords more forgiving 2) Analysis and visualization of email graph: sift through related threads and see the impact of search constraints, represent scale and organization with more than an inbox counter
