Search GMail

Tips & Tricks

[eWhisper]

You can search in just one label by using: label:Name search query

You can eliminate searching particular labels by using: -label:Name

GMail indexes email headers, so one can search by date: "Tue, 14 Dec 2004" or email address [e-mail]

However, GMail does not recogonize the @ symbol as being a particular character, so you can't search for all email from a particular domain like @gmail.com.

Also, the "Reply-To" and "To" searches don't usually work as you're searching for exact text and not a field.

Is there a way to search just one field? (To=?)
Is there a way to just search one conversation?

Is there a way to just search one conversation?

I don't think there is a specific way to search just one conversation, but you could just label a conversation like "Conversation A", and then:

Show Search Options > Search:"Conversation A"

P.S.:Thanks for the tips! :)

Should have specified above. In using the search box (not additional search settings) is there a way to search a field?

If one uses the search options, then one can search for a particular field.
