mail search function does not work

Hi,


The search function in mail never seems to be able to find the mails I need.

When I search on the webpage of gmail I can immediately find the mails I want.

I don't understand the problem.

I have already tried the following hints:

Problemen met het vinden van de juiste e-mails in Mail op de Mac - Apple Support (NL)

But nothing helps.

any ideas ?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.4

Has the user ( you ) attempted to " Rebuild " the mail boxes.


Depending on how may mailboxes and number of e-mails it needs to Re-Index - it cloud take some time, like hours or days.


While we are here - the latest stable version of Monterey is version 12.6 - if not already installed.
