Google E-mail Search Partial Match?
On first glance, it appears that Gmail doesn’t support partial matches. So, if you want to exclude all your messages about coding, you’d want to include “code”, “codes”, “coder”, “coding”, and so on. Can this really be true? Can the mighty Google really offer such a hamstrung search?
It also doesn’t support searching within message headers. For an e-mail service that relies so strongly on search, I’m hitting the limits very quickly. Other e-mail programs have searches that can take tens of minutes, but perhaps it’s worth sticking with them until Gmail moves out of beta and hopefully fixes a few of these issues.
