This is the same for me, I think anything more than one word long is making problems with search. Also: finding Names of people is really wonky
@Jonathan Laukenmann: If the words are contiguous, you can use quotation marks:
subject:"quick brown fox"
If they're not, you can use multiple subject queries:
subject:jumps and subject:dog
@Geoff Ball: what Happens when I Type: jumps dog?
Does it default to contiguous or not?
@Jonathan Laukenmann: If you mean:
subject:jumps dog
That should do a search for a message with "jumps" in the subject and "dog" anywhere (body, subject, etc.).
@Geoff Ball: cool, that makes sense. Strange that it feels like it’s sometimes missing results. I’ll keep an eye one it, next time I’m looking for something
I don't know what Missive is indexing and searching
Try searching like:
subject:thingy
(where "thingy" is what you're looking for, and "subject:" limits search to the subject)
At least, I think Missive says they support Gmail-style searches.
@Steven Stockton: Yes, Gmail-style searches are supported but only for Gmail / G Suite accounts, simply because Missive forwards the search to Gmail itself.
