Search

Find anything in your mail with operators, filters, saved searches, and an AI overview.

Fluxmail's search does more than match keywords. You can ask it a question in plain language, narrow results with filters, save the searches you run often, and use it to reach the familiar folders like Sent and Drafts.

Searching your mail

The search bar sits at the top of your mail, prompting you to "Search or ask a question." Press / from anywhere to jump to it, type what you're after, and press Enter.

You can use the same operators you know from Gmail:

  • from:, to:, cc:, subject: to match people and subjects
  • has:attachment, filename:, filetype:pdf for attachments
  • label:work, -label:promotions to include or exclude a label
  • is:unread, is:starred, is:snoozed for status
  • after: and before: with a date or a relative span like 7d, 2w, or 1m

Stack as many as you like and they all narrow the results together. Put a phrase in quotes to match it exactly, and prefix a term with - to exclude it.

Ask a question

Type a real question instead of keywords and Flux AI streams an answer above the results, pulling it together from your mail with clickable citations to the threads it used. It steps in when your search reads like a question (it ends with a "?", starts with a word like "what" or "when", or runs a few words of plain text) and stays out of the way for plain keyword or operator searches.

Saved searches

If you want to save a search for easy access, click the Save search button to the right of the search bar and it shows up under Saved in the sidebar. From there, one click takes you back to those results. You can rename, remove, and drag to reorder your saved searches.

The familiar folders

Home takes the place of a traditional inbox, but the usual mailboxes are all still here through search. Filter by is:sent, is:drafts, is:starred, is:snoozed, is:trash, or is:spam to pull up any of them, and save the ones you reach for often so they stay a click away.
