Simple Search is the quickest way to find archived emails by a word or phrase. For searches that combine several conditions, see How to Perform Advanced Search.

Run a simple search

1. Go to the Search section.
2. Click the Email tab at the top of the page. Simple Search opens by default.

3. Type a word or phrase in the search field.
4. Click the search fields dropdown and choose where to look: Senders, Recipients, Subject, Body and Attachments. All of them are selected by default; use Select All to select or clear them all.

5. Optionally, narrow the search:
   • Tags — only emails with the selected tags. See How to Filter by Tags in Simple and Advanced Search.
   • Fuzzy Search — also find close matches and misspellings. See How to Use Fuzzy Search.
   • Search For — which types of items to include (Emails, WhatsApp, SMS). All types are selected by default.
   • Mailboxes — if you manage several mailboxes, choose which ones to search. See How to Search Through Different Mailboxes on the Search Page.
6. Click the Range field to set the date range. The default is Last 14 Days. Pick a preset or set your own From Date and To Date, and turn on Forever to search from the oldest or up to the newest archived email. Click Apply. See How to Use Calendar in Search Flow.

7. Click Search.

Please note that when you filter by tags, you don't have to enter a search term.
