Gmail 內的搜尋功能獲得提升,可以利用不同的 Keywords 作不同類型的搜尋,如:收件人, 寄件人, 有附件, 日期, 郵件大小, 等等。
例如要搜尋來自 abc 的郵件,可以輸入 from: abc。若想列出有附件的電郵,就輸入has:attachment。
兩種日期搜尋方式
日期方面的搜尋亦十分方便,如:after:2012/8/15 就代表搜尋 12年8月15日之後的郵件,另外,亦有一個簡化寫法 newer_than:2d 就代表最近兩天的郵件,可以用 d, m, y 代表日月年。
這些搜尋指示可多個一併輸入,留意兩幅截圖內都是輸入多個搜尋指示。例如下圖就是搜尋有附件但不含 one2free 的郵件。
其實還有很多不同的搜尋方式,下面就是從 Gmail Support 複製的完整的列表。
