FAQ - Searching within a particular folder
Posted on July 1st, 2008 by Amy Pearlman
To limit your search results to the contents of a particular folder, put your search word or words in the search field, then type in:foldername. For example, if I wanted to find all messages in my inbox containing the word project, then what I would type in the search field is:
project in:inbox
This can be combined with our tip about fining unread or tagged messages. For example, to find all unread messages in inbox, you would type:
is: unread in:inbox
