I see this is marked as complete In May 2020, but this is also our biggest team complaint in 2021. We've had users in our org requesting we look at competitors because the search function in Missive is so infuriating. Philippe Lehoux
I'm sure you're going to ask us to email certain examples, low appetite to do that.

A few weeks ago we released an improvement to our search algorithm that should have improved search for most users.
If you are still experimenting issues I invite you to write us a report at support@missiveapp.com.

I have 10 users on Missive and this is often a complaint. They leave Gmail open so they can search in Gmail but use Missive for their emails. Would be great to beef this up within Missive.
Rafael Masson
Bill Barnshaw: Hi Bill. Can you please email us at support@missiveapp.com and give us specific examples of search queries your coworkers are doing that aren’t returning the expected results? Normally Missive should return the same results as Gmail.

I understand that search has now been improved in terms of what it could do and now we need to improve it in terms of how it works. The attached image shows how Outlook enables you to enter text against certain search fields and so it is much easier and quicker to find things. This way you also dont need to memorise all the Outlook search syntaxes. Note: Spark is able to do this.
I tried this same search in Missive using Microsoft syntax eg "from:jeremy" etc but it didnt find the results.
David Kraljic
Neil Bothams: I totally agree with this. I do know the operators but typing them is really time consuming, error prone and annoying. Worse, there is no auto-complete while typing. So if you type from: you have to then type out an entire email address which I don't always remember, so I stop go look for an email then come back and start the typing all over again! Or if I do remember the email address (for colleagues) then I have to type these search queries out all day long. There is so much to love about Missive but this is killing me.

I'm using Missive with IMAP accounts (no Office and no Gmail) and search is basically useless. I get three emails every day with the Content starting with "Dispatch report: Something" (Something is something else every day) and when I enter: Dipatch report
Into the search field I get 0 results. What is going on??
Rafael Masson
Jonathan Laukenmann: We are about to release important improvements related to search. Stay tuned.
Jonathan Laukenmann
Rafael Masson: Hey, I have noticed that the search is now improved by a lot! Thanks for the fix. One thing still doesn't work: When I search for something in the subject it doesn't find it somehow... Emails content search works perfectly according to my tests
Rafael Masson
Jonathan Laukenmann: Hi Jonathan. Great to see you noticed the improvement! Regarding the subject search, can you please email us to support@missiveapp.com with a specific case you are trying to search for? Thanks!
Jonathan Laukenmann
Rafael Masson: I just sent you an email
Jonathan Laukenmann
Rafael Masson: is there a way to narrow down search results, now that Missive is finding even parts of the search query there are so many results often, and no way to narrow it down, is there?
Rafael Masson
Jonathan Laukenmann: At the moment you need to add more keywords to the search to narrow it down. We do plan on supporting consecutive-word matching by surrounding words with double quotes "like this".
Rafael Masson
Jonathan Laukenmann: This has just been released. Users of generic IMAP accounts can now search for consecutive words in emails by surrounding words with double quotes "like this".
Jonathan Laukenmann
@rafael-massonthats Great thank!

Was noticing search is pretty bad, no basic operators like from and to, etc

I love missive but the search function is weak. Recent items containing the exact same search term do not show despite clearing filters and trying numerous times. This area is definitely a big weakness.
Kelvin S
Would love sub-string search. For example, if the subject containts "QT-018679" then searching for "18679" will find that particular email or conversation. I think this would solve a ton of dissatisfaction around search.
Fady El Desokey
i have the same issue, always the search of missive is lacking in results
Sajjad Rajpar
Fady El Desokey: ditto
