I’m astonished at how bad search in Gmail is. I searched for “iPhone receipt” to find out when I purchased my current iPhone, and it pulled up every single email I’ve ever gotten from Best Buy, since they all have a link in there to buy an iPhone, and they all have a link in there to look up a receipt from them.

I know that those emails have both the words “iPhone” and “receipt” but I feel like The Search Engine Company That Also Does Email should have a smarter search engine in their email.

I’m pleasantly surprised that I can ask Gemini for help with it if I specify “look through my Gmail for this information”, but it takes it a minute or two to find it.
