You can hardly find one better than Gmail when it comes to free email services. You can use it on your PC, but you can also use it on your smartphone or tablet, whether Android or iOS. No matter which device you are using, it is all straightforward.

If you have a ton of emails in your inbox, it can be hard to find the one you need. Fortunately, Gmail allows you to search emails easily. And in this article, we will show you how to do just that. Without further ado, let’s see how to search for emails in Gmail.

How to search for emails in Gmail

You can search for emails using the app or the browser on your PC. When it comes to the app, the search is a lot simpler – you have the search bar at the top of the app, and you can type the term, and the emails will be listed. On the other hand, when using the browser on your PC, you will get a more detailed search. Here is how to do it:

  • Open a browser of your choice
  • Go to Gmail and click on the search options icon next to the search bar

  • When you click on the icon, you will see the fields that you can fill out to find the email with ease

  • You can fill out the fields such as “From” and “To,” but there is also the subject, words the email contains, ate, and more.
  • Enter all the details you know and when you are done, click Search.

This option is better than the one available on the app because it offers more. No matter how many emails you have, you will find the one you want using the search.
