Search function not working in mail

Suddenly. When I do a search in mail on my devices I only find mail from months ago. Nothing recent. What's happened?

Hello,
What type of account is this -- POP, IMAP or .mac? If not POP, then settings in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced will impact whether Search will work.
More info, please.

  • Search Feature Not Working in Mail 10.7.4

    Hi, the search feature is not working properly in Mail since upgrading to 10.7. If I use Spotlight from the desktop, that search will find the particular mail message I'm looking for, but searching directly within mail produces horrible results. I know I can just use spotlight, but sometimes I just want to search within mail. Any suggestions?

    Erase and rebuild index:
    Open Terminal and type$ sudo mdutil -E /
    you'll notice it indexing...

  • Search function not working in Aperture

    The search function in Aperture 2.1.4 is not working,. No changes have been made to settings/preferences. Advanced keyword searching will no take place either.

    The upgrade from Aperture 2 to Aperture 3 has to be bought from the AppStore; it is not a free update.  But Aperture is no longer as expensive as it used to be, but still 69,99 € or 80 $ (US).
    Sometimes next year will the new Photos.app be released by Apple, and the migration from Aperture 3 to Photos will be supported, but I have no idea, if that will be possible for Aperture 2 libraries.
    I've never run Aperture with Lion or later, so I cannot be sure, which troubleshooting measures will be save on Mavericks. Check out this link:  Aperture 2: Troubleshooting Basics

  • Search function not working

    the search function on my macbook's mail app has just stopped working. every search term i type in returns 0 resultsi know the emails are there (i.e., typing in 'ebay' returns nothing, despite using my account for ebay)
    i have tried restarting the app, restarting the macbook and nothing seems to have sorted it
    any help is greatly appreciated
    thanks

    I am also having this issue....except in a different manner.
    When I use the search box whilst looking in a folder (EG Inbox) the return now incorporates 'everything' -sent mails, bin mails.
    It no longer is selective but seems to have switched to a generic search.
    How do I switch it back to selective searches for peoples names

  • Search function not working correctly

    I have a problem searching in a specific document. For some reason, the search function only seems to sift through certain fonts, or types of text. The main text is not included in the search, but rather only (for example) the Table of Contents and some "examples" (in a special font) in the text. Everything else is omitted.
    When I copy/paste the main text, it's pasted as a strange code in this fashion, despite the fact that it's quite readable in it's original form:
    äíÉí=áåíÉ=Ü~ê=Ñí
    This is probably the reason why Search can't find terms in the main text, as searchable text looks quite right when copy/pasted. But how can I solve the problem?
    Thanks!
    David

    Did you check under the file Properties to see if the fonts are embedded? If they are not, you can reembed the fonts if you have Acrobat Pro using the Preflight tools.

  • HT201285 Search facility not working in mail and calendar?

  • Search does not work in Mail

    After upgrading from Mountain Lion to Mavericks and reindexing my mails, "Mail" does not find anything when using the built-in search feature (neither does Spotlight). I tried removing the envelop files in the Library folder (- reindexing), deleting + adding email accounts within Mail, and removing / adding the mail folder to Spotlight (following Apple's suggestion (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2409)). Interestingly enough, when re-adding the mail folder to Spotlight, nothing seems to happen.
    I have the impression that this could be related to the fact that I have my mails stored within an encrypted archive file (sparse bundle). Therefore the Library folder does not contain the Mail archive directly but refers to a disk volume via an alias. I had no problems with this prior to Mavericks.
    Does anyone have similar issues? Any ideas how this could be solved?
    Thanks,
    Tim.

    hi tim....see what you think
    here is one more thot.
    have now reconciled to the idea that the 'to' name will not show, only the 'from' name,
    so, sorted the trash box by 'to'. (by clicking the top area to 'sort by to'
    then started going down and looking at each emails header to see if all the listings were in order of 'to',
    to miss A
    to miss A
    to miss A,
    however that is usually the case but often the person they are 'to' are not all togher, like all the 'to Miss A' are not all togher but scattered thru the list...
    should it be like that?

  • Search function not working on iPhone 5

    I've only had my phone since May 2013 and started messing around with music app about two weeks ago. Things seem to be working fine in the store, but now the search function won't work. The store loads, I click search and one of a couple things happen:
    1. It loads fine and I search
    2. It will load the last thing I searched for, but the search bar is missing so I can't change my search
    3. (this happens most frequently) It says search at the top, and then it's a completely blank screen
    I've removed the music app from my active activies and I've powered compeletely down, but nothing seems to fix the blank screen. I've talked with other iPhone users and no one else seems to have encountered this. Am I doing something wrong?

    Hi mandibriggs,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  Whenever you encounter that trouble, I would first try force quitting the Music and iTunes apps:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    If that doesn't resolve things, then a restart and possibly a reset may help:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    Cheers,

  • App Store "app"  - search function not working....

    App Store works fine, search function stopped, it accepts text and provides suggestions, it's when you click on one of the suggestions, gray screen and spinning progress indicator forever.
    The same app can be located in the other category sections of App Store and it goes right to that app description.
    Anyone else experiencing?

    Looks like system wide issue. Too many people are complaining about this on other forums. If you must download apps, do it on you computer and sync to iphone or you can do google search for the app on safari on iphone and tap the link that shows up (make sure link address starts with itunes,apple.com) and it will take you to app store for you to download it.

  • Why my search suggestion not working in Mail and Finder?

    When I go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. When I enter my ID and password it does not save or link to account.
    When fist setting up your new iphone you will be asked to log in with an apple id and password. If this did not happen you can then do as you suggested going to settings to itunes and app store and add your apple id login. This apple id login must have already been created for the iphone to accept it. If this apple id is already created but is not being accepted by your iphone you then should shut down your iphone and restart the device.
    Good luck.
