Search Function over all Mails

Hello community,
I want to know if it is possible to search for a mail over alle folders that i have created and sorted my mails in.
I think one can only search mails within a single folder...
I am using icloud.com on a Windows PC.
Thanks for your help
Nils

You can already search through a playlist.
Help article about it can be found here:
https://support.spotify.com/learn-more/faq/#!/article/Filter-your-playlists
In the desktop app you can also search for a specific playlist instead of scrolling through your list to find it by typing the title of that playlist in the search results. It should then appear under playlists in the search results.

  • Inconsistent SEARCH FUNCTION in Lion Mail

    I have a note book Pro with Lion OS X 10.7.2.
    Since I have Lion when I use the mail search function, I cannot control my search.
    Sometime I can search " by" or  "from", sometime  I cannot access that way of searching
    Some other times I can search by selecting People, Mailbox or subject...
    At no time i have the control of choosing the way I want to organize my search
    It should exist a search function that would enable to choose the best way to make a search and to refine that search
    Any suggestion to control your search?

    Don't take this the wrong way, but stop wasting your time. I spent 2 hours at my local Apple store yesterday and at the end of it all was told there was an issue with mail search in Lion and that Apple was aware of it.
    I went so far as to bring an identical computer loaded with the same number of mail messages (25,000+) running snow leopard instead of Lion, set the computers side by side and time after time the mail in Leopard worked perfectly while Lion found few if any mail messages at all. For example when we searched the term "computer" search would bring up 2477 found on Snow Leopard and none in Lion. Just one example.
    The Apple Genius Bar guy was apologetic and tried all of the following during my 2 hour visit:
    Rebuild spotlight
    Reinstall Lion
    Rebuild Indexes
    export mail
    import mail
    Reset Mail app from
    use migration assistant to set up Mail from Leopard to Lion
    Remove and rebuild envelope
    delete mail plist
    Use Terminal to reset indexes
    Throw away saved search preferences
    No Joy
    Funny though how well mail worked perfectly with a few hundred sample emails on computers in store.
    Lastly the theory that we agreed on was that perhaps I had too many emails and or attachments in inbox and Lion could not deal with it.
    Looking at alternative like Postbox or Thunderbird until fix is implemented by Apple.
    Hope this helps.

  • I updated to Lion and now the Search function in Apple Mail is not working properly

    Even though the "All" option is selected, when I type a string in the Mail spotlight search box, the string is not found.  But I know for a fact the string is in an email and I've manually found the email (in a folder) and copied and pasted it into the search box.  Mail is still not able to find it.
    I have also checked to make sure that "Message contains" is the option in the search box.  I've noticed that in some previous searches there has been a little arrow dropdown option next to the magnifying glass icon.  But that arrow is not showing up consistently...and is not showing up now.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Ok...here's the steps to fix this as efficiently as possible.  I have a whole bunch of mailboxes under "On My Mac" and they have a bunch of mailboxes nested in them.  I get my messages into Apple Mail via IMAP.  (I don't know if this matters.)  The steps below assume you have a similar setup.
    1.  Hold the Option key down and click the dropdown arrow next to each mailbox that has one.  This will cause all nested mailboxes below it to appear.
    2.  Go to the top of the list of mailboxes under "On My Mac" and highlight the first mailbox.  Then hold the Shift key down and highlight the last mailbox in the list.  This will cause all of the mailboxes and nested mailboxes to be highlighted.
    3.  From the menu, select "Mailbox --> Rebuild" and the rebuild process will start.
    4.  Watch the top of the mail screen to see the message count change as the mailboxes are being rebuilt.  Wait until the activity stops before doing the next step.
    5.  As the mailboxes were rebuilt, many messages were reset as "Unread" even though every message was previously "Read."  Make sure the mailboxes you want to affect are still highlighted.  Right-click and select "Mark All Messages Read."
    That fixed the problem for me.

  • Mail - Search always returns All mail entries

    When I use the Search facility in Mail to try and find some specific mails I know I have amongst my many thousand of mails, i just can't get Search to return anything other than a full return of all items in the mailbox.
    I'm clearly being daft somehow, but can't figure it out.
    I enter single word into the search box in the top right, and it always just says 10,562 (or whatever the current number is) items, which makes no sense.  I'm using search words that should return a few hundred. I've even put in non existent words to prove the point - still get the same number 'returned'.
    Sort of sensing that no search is actually taking place, or there's some overriding criteria/setting hiding somewhere.
    Using current version of Yosemite including version 8.0 of Mail.
    What am I missing - anyone know?
    Cheers.

    I was able to solve all my problems with searching in Mail with a simple process. I backed up my entire machine with Time Machine, then booted from my OS X install / restore DVD. Then selected restore from time machine backup, it rewrote my entire hard drive with the backup from time machine and upon booting back up, Mail reindexed all messages and my computer was exactly how I left it before I backed it up.
    The problems I was having with mail included:
    Unable to search 'entire message'
    Unable to search 'entire message' when a specific inbox was selected
    Able to search messages from spotlight in the Finder, but then they would disappear.
    The spotlight index not being updated when new mail came in, making it unsearchable.
    Plus a slew of other search in Mail problems.
    Backing up and then doing a full restore from Time Machine solved all the problems.
    Hope this helps,

  • Since FF 3.6 was installed I cannot open my AOL mail on FF. BING Search page blocks ALL mail. I go to old basic method for AOL. BING is annoying and obstructive!

    Is Bing the chosen search engine for FF.? How do I get it from essentially blocking my AOL mail which cannot be read using FF?

  • In OS Yosemite the search function in Mail, Finder, Spotlight- does not work

    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
    2,6 GHz Intel Core i7
    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB
    OS Yosemite,
    Finder versión 10.10.1
    Mail Versión 8.1 (1993)
    In OS Yosemite the search function in Mail, Finder, Spotlight… does not work. Messages or documents with the search criteria are there and one could find them manually, but the search function fails to find them. Following advice from Apple Support (728965377):
    1. I applied an Apple protocol for adware removal (Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac); I had none, because I had formally utilized a similar protocol that I had found in Internet, actually an app that implemented automatically Apple's adware removal protocol.
    2. I rebuild the post boxes in Mail (Mail (Yosemite): Reconstruir buzones); It took a while but it functioned properly
    3. I re-install the System (OS X Yosemite: Reinstalar OS X); It took about 4 hours but there was no problem whatsoever with the installation.
    Afterwards I searched for messages in Mail, and documents in Finder and Spotlight, without any difficulty. The search function in all of them was working properly. But the next time that I needed to search messages or documents, an hour later or so, the problem reappear and a couple of new issues occurred:
    1. in app RagTime 6.5.2 (Build 1821), www.ragtime.de, the menu bar disappears (it is invisible), when one performs certain operations, e. g., calculating a value with a formula, whether it is in a spreadsheet or some other component (text, drawing, etc.). After touching with the cursor the menu bar is visible again.
    2. after reading an e-mail in Mail or copying an address, this is seeing as a floating object in the finder and over every application. There is no logical way to get rid of the floating object and neither copying or deleting or cutting it. It is not a big issue but nonetheless bothersome.
    3. In Mail, messages with Flag or in VIP contacts cannot be seen in the appropriate folders, only in the Incoming mail folder, together with other messages. It seems to me, this issue is part of same search function problem.
    4. The preview function within Mail does not show the attached documents to a message, whether it is in the IN, OUT or Draft boxes.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List

  • The search function on my apple mail is not working.

    The search function in Apple mail is not working.  When I type in something to search by, the results are not showing up. 
    I've clicked on "All" on the search requirements to include all of my mailboxes.
    I've also tried rebuilding the mailboxes with no results.
    Has anyone else had this issue?

    Is Spotlight working?

  • Mountain Lion Mail Program Search Function.

    I upgraded my 2nd Generation Air to Mountain Lion.  The search function on my mail is not nearly as effective as it was before.  I find myself searching on my IPhone or Ipad, then forwarding the mail to my email address so I can open it on my Air.  I can't find it with the Search Mail function on the computer, but can find it easily with the other devices. 
    I've looked in settings and configuration, but can't see anything that would let me go to a different search function. 
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    I really tried everything but nothing helped.
    But finally I solved the problem.
    I made a timemachine backup (just for safety reasons).
    Then I installed Mountain Lion again over the existing installation.
    (I used a USB Stick with Mountain Lion to do that.)
    Now everything works great.

  • The search function in mail has virtually stopped working

    What's going on????  I can no longer find anything using the search function in Apple Mail Version 5.2 (running on OS 10.7.4).
    If I put in the name of someone I have exchenged maybe 500 emails with, it only finds one or two, or maybe none.  The same with key words.  And I can suddenly no longer search for partial email addresses (like @bankofamerica.com).
    I tried rebuilding some of my bigger mail boxes, and a) it took a LONG time and b) it didn't help.
    I have not made any chenges in my software, and a week ago I seemed to be searching just fine.
    Any idea what might have happened and how to fix it?
    Thank you!

  • Search function suddenly dysfunctional

    I have been using the search function with all pdf documents that are not image type files, but suddenly today it started to return meaningless results in any file I download from one particular database, and even those files that I had downloaded from the same source earlier and had searched without any problem. However, it continues to work perfectly with files downloaded from other sites. I do not know what is happening and what I can do. Please help!

    When was this reset done ? How long (days) did it work fine after that ? Is it that you have added / stored a lot of data after the reset and then it started again !!!
    The reset was done 4-5 days ago and I didn't add a lot of data after it. I have ca. 190 entries in the phonebook, 2 e-mail server settings, I installed the Opera mobile browser (after this everything worked well), and there are some SMS messages.

  • Search function on creative mp3 play

    i think creative mus upgrade the search functions on all mp3 players,so that searching 4 chinese songs or artists won't be a chore anymore....
    Message Edited by waahaha7 on 06-20-2005 07:33 AM

    I don't see anything in there that should give someone cause to "avoid Creative".
    I don't think that this will be a constructi've topic at all, and will probably just result in bashing, so I'm closing it.

  • Mac mail search function is not working. Any search term returns all records.

    Mac mail search function is not working. Any search term returns all records.

    hi eric. many thanks.
    i will have to read these links closer but what i meant to say is that the hard drive space that was being taken up seemed like it suddenly jumped way up because i had just gotten through a process in the last month where i am storing all my My Documents data on my Mac Pro. i am doing this in order to decide whether i should just keep it ALL on my Mac Pro and use ChronoSync to sync /some/ of it to my MBP.
    so if i look in the Documents folder on my Mac Pro i have a ton of folders that i have created with a ton of data. if i look in the Documents folder on my MBP there are NO folders that have data in them that i created. there are other folders such as folders that various software created but what i mean to point out is that there was a LOT of available space on my HD until recently.
    i am wondering if there is some way that running the Mail re-index (it then ran some kind of "Importing" routine) or by syncing my Photostream to the MBP caused a huge jump in data on this drive. if it is the photostream sync i can just take this off or see if it will sync more selectively. if it is something to do with mac mail jumping in size i am not sure why this would happen or what to do about it.
    does that question make sense?
    i mean, before i did these two operations my recollection is that i would have had 130 GB on the hard drive (really just guessing here) and now there is like 218 GB on the hard drive and i don't know where all this came from...

  • Unable to find some e-mails trough search function

    So... our Groupwise guru is on vacation and I have an issue I'm unable to resolve.
    Our sales team shares an e-mail resource which contains a huge amount of information so they rely on the search function a lot. Since about two days the search function doesn't work to its fullest anymore.
    If we search for something generic like "backorder" or similar it will find a lot. But when we try to search for a send mail with a specific subject it will find nothing. It will simply continue to search we waited over 10 minutes while normally results pop-up within a few seconds.
    If we then go to the send mail box and use the Filter it finds it in no time. So we are sure we used the right search term and we only selected the send mailbox only search the subject.
    I tried running an mailbox maintance analyze/fix databases but that yielded no results.
    I'm not much of an Novell and Groupwise specialist so if theres anything i left out let me know and I will see if I can find it.

    And in the meantime, if the OP is just one of the users who needs a
    "fix" while the GW admin is out, he could have the affected people
    switch to caching mode. Then they'd be using their local cached QF
    indexes.

  • Lion mail 5.2 search function

    I just switched to Lion and have been disappointed with the Mail app.  I'm over 50 and find the new "grayed-out" icons throughout Lion's new graphic scheme really annoying... and Mail is no exception. Ditto the bouncing of lists, texts, etc., at the end of their scrolling range. What purpose is served by this? Why can't they just stop?
    Anyway, the main issue I have with Mail is the search function, which seems nearly useless. I can't seem to find a way to search on Subject, Contents or Sender, all of which functions have been vital to my business. I'm not sure what to do about this, because I'm stuck with Lion now and can't go back to Snow.
    Can anyone help?

    Doesn't work for me. The drop down I get is only the following:
    "All/Inbox/Drafts/Sent/Notes/Flagged
    trying to search in each of those fields does not bring up the old "Entire Message/Subject/To/From/ etc...fields.
    I'm using Lion and it seems that this came on all of the sudden when trying to search in Mail shows NO search box choices. NO Subject / No Entire Message / No From / No To Etc.....
    I have multiple machines all running Snow Leopard and only this one machine running Lion but I do not think that Lion was always this way since I updated this machine. I could be wrong. Is this the Lion and Mountain Lion Mail app and I just have not used the Mail Search function on this machine until now?
    Anybody know if this is Apple's idea of "slimming down" the existing apps to be more iOS like or is this a malfunction of the most recent security/java update? Either way I hate it and can't find anything without those options. I ordered a T-Shirt it came in the wrong size. Before I could always type in T-Shirt under "Entire Message" and find the right one almost immediately. Now when I try I get the whole inbox it seems. No filtering at all.
    Issue? or "New and Improved" from Apple?
    I hope this is not the normal behavior for Lion, I already not pleased at the "New and Improved" combination of Search and URL address in the new Safari......It's a joke. Talk about limiting our macs to be more like our phones, geezo before long we will have one search function to use and it will be so time consuming to go thru the results it won't be worth it. If I could remember enough detail to narrow down my results I would not be needing the search function. Of well, thats another feedback letter for Apple i guess.
