My esteemed listmates, I've Googled this for their program gmail without a successful article. My goal is to search all my emails from the welcome email I got from Google to date for 1 to 3 words together (proper name). I keep getting limited by the Date Search "Function" Box (or whatever Google chooses to call it. Next to Date I can "activate" the drop down menu and the farthest out I can search is the 1 year listed. I wish to search much farther back than one year. So, in the From: "Function Box" typed in *After:01/01/2000 Before:01/01/2023* ...with the Has words "Function Box" left empty. I get zero results. I then typed in one of the proper names I'm looking for in the Has Words with the From: "Function Box" typed in *After:01/01/2000 Before:01/01/2023* ..but got zero results. If I type in the word Welcome in the Has Words (the 1st gmail you get) I still get zero results. How have others searched Gmail for gmails 5 years back with a word in the Has Words? Thank you.
