My Apple PC has just been updated to Monterey and my Apple Mail search is no longer working. (this has been working for years perfectly well till the new upgrade) I have been trying to find solutions on the web but nothing seems to work. The Search is only giving (if that) results that are in the Inbox. I have numerous folders on my Mac which I constantly use which are unable to be included in my search. In short: My search results are not including my folders and therefore giving me false results. I would appreciate it if you could please let me know how I can rectify this

Any help on this would be much appreciated
