How to Search for Emails

Searching for Emails

Open your Gmail and at the top of your page below your Bookmarks Bar, click in the search box that says Search in emails. 

Enter your search criteria and press Enter.

Scroll through the results to find what you're looking for. 

To narrow down your search, at the top of your inbox, search for one or more keywords that appear anywhere in the email—in the subject, body, or sender name. 

If you’re looking for something specific, click Show search options, which is to the right of Search in emails bar, to use the advanced search function.
