Search for emails by size and more in Gmail
November 14, 2012
Posted by Christian Kurmann, Software Engineer
We're always looking for ways to make it faster and easier for you to find your messages using search in Gmail. So starting today, you can now search emails by size, more flexible date options, exact match and
more
.
This means, for example, to find emails larger than 5MB, you can search for
size:5m
or
larger:5m
or to find emails sent over a year ago,
older_than:1y
.
These changes go hand in hand with other recent enhancements to search such as the
improved autocomplete predictions
and a field trial for
instant results from Gmail, Google Drive and more as you type
.
