Searching in Gmail

[Eliezer Broder]

In a different thread Zack mentioned searching using "is:unread".  Where is a comprehensive list of such search criteria available?

 

Thanks,

Eliezer

Do a search in GMail for "is:unread"... then when you want the unreads
you just use the normal view, or "is:read".

The only one I've learned about, through this group an others, that's
not listed there is {}

One example they give is using () to search like:
subject:(dinner OR movie)
Subject contains either dinner OR movie, and
subject:(dinner movie)
Subject contains dinner AND movie... The {} can simplify the top one to:
subject:{dinner movie}
Subject contains dinner OR movie

While this example isn't spectacular, it can quickly shorten a long
list of OR's into a simple list:
to:{me m...@domain1.com domain2.com root}
Finds messages sent to any of those 4 addresses; note that the
3rd is just the domain, so if it's to anyone in that domain it's
matched, and the 4th has no domain, so it's root@anything.
