Can I search email using gmail on an iPhone?
I'm stumped by this seemingly obvious feature.
One of the key things that makes gmail great is the ability to keep all your mail from forever and then search it using flexible google search when you need to find something.
I just got an iPhone and both the apple mail program, and even the google mobile app for iPhone appear to have left searching your mail off the list of capabilities. When you go to gmail.google.com from an iPhone, it recognizes that you are on an iPhone browser and redirects you to a fancy AJAX client that is very nice, but doesn't allow search.
There has to be a way? Anyone? I spent 2 hours searching the web for this issue and I have not found either a resolution, or even confirmation that you can't do it.
The google supplied gmail app on blackberry has search mail. Why would they leave that out on iPhone? It's a mystery.
If I can't search mail, I will probably return the iPhone. Browsing is nice, but there are a few must have email features…
You are correct, you can't search email with it.
this is a major gripe with the mobile gmail
who like my answers god will bless every day! Have a good day foryou!
- Why doesn't email delete on the gmail server when I delete them on iPhone? I've removed the archive feature on iPhone. So I get the delete option for my emails. I'm using the EXCHANGE server on iPhone for email.
- Should I change email address from gmail to outlook.com? So what's going on is I use a lot of products that use windows even know I have a iphone I normally use my gmail but I like outlook and wondering if I should transition or just keep gmail what are your thoughts
- I receive a text message when I email my self? (Gmail)? I have my number on gmail for security for about a year now and for some reason if I email my self from my iPhone, I don't know whether it's only from my iPhone or on the computer I get a text message of that email?
- I'm using someone's Wi-Fi, can they search my history? I'm using my iPhone and old phone to connect to my homes secured Wi-Fi. I always clear search history on my phone. But can my family use their laptop and find out what I've been searching online from my phone connected to my family's Wi-Fi? Even though I clear search history on my phone?
