General Tip: Gmail Search Tips - Gmail Master

Hi Folks,

Today Lets look into Gmail tips:

Google’s email service Gmail, or Google Mail, supports a variety of advanced search parameters which have not been documented that well until now. Recently it became known for instance that emails can be filtered by size using the size: parameter in the search form on the Gmail website.



Google today announced that all Gmail advanced search parameters are now available on a Searching Gmail support page. This includes the size parameter, but also additional parameters such as “older than” to find emails that are older than the specified age or “larger” which does the same as the size parameter.

Here is a short list of the most important advanced search parameters that you can use to search your emails on the Gmail website:
  • from: – find emails from a specific sender
  • to: – find emails sent to a specific recipient
  • subject: – search for words in subject lines
  • label: – search for messages by label
  • has:attachment – display only messages with attachments
  • filename: – search for attachments by name or filetype
  • in:anywhere – search anywhere included spam and trash folders which are by default excluded from the search results.
  • is:starred, is:unread, is:read – search for messages that are starred, unread or read
  • cc:, bcc: – search for recipients listed in cc or bcc fields
  • after:, before:, older:, newer: – search for messages in a specific period of time using the format yyyy/mm/dd
  • is:chat – search for chat messages
  • size: search for messages larger than a specified size
  • larger:, smaller: – like size, but may use size abbreviations, e.g. 1MB for 1 million bytes.
  • rfc822msgid: – find messages by message header id
