User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:72.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/72.0

Steps to reproduce:

Try to find via global search an email written by someone who appears in many CC lists.

Actual results:

There is no easy way to filter messages who were sent from or to someone in global search.

There was an add-on with this functionality: https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/gmailui/

But it stopped working. This is out-of-the-box functionality in GMail.

Suggested operators:

  • from:mike This expression searches all messages with 'mike' in the from field.
  • to:bill This expression searches all messages with 'bill' in the to, cc or bcc fields of the message.
  • cc:bill bcc:bill onlyto:bill Self-explanatory variants of the above.
  • subject:electric bill

GMail also supports "-word" to exclude words

This is largely bug 1445125.

The workaround of course is open the messages in a list, and use quick filters
