Mailspring Search not listing Emails when compared to GMail.com webmail

Description

Hi Guys,

Love your mail product, but I’ve experienced the lack of ability to do a search for both text in the body or the subject line in Mailspring when doing a search.

I’m on the PRO plan, and I initially installed the SNAP version about a year ago. A few months back, I was noticing that some of the searches were not very comprehensive compared to my previous experiences. So I decided to remove the SNAP package and install the DEB package. After logging into my account, all the search results were exactly on par with GMAIL.COM webmail. Now after running the DEB package for a few months, I’m seeing the same behaviour again where my search results are no longer on par with GMAIL.COM. Its kind of hard to identify a pattern of behaviour though. Is there some sort of setting in place regarding search results? I can’t really find it…

To Reproduce…

Setup a GMAIL account on Mailspring
Run Mailspring for a few months…
Run a search, especially for older emails

Expected Behavior

Search results should be the same or similar to GMAIL.com

Additional Context

I’m also having this problem on mac os in 2024, any tips? I hate having to have gmail.com in the background just for searching mails (and I use this function a lot)

Mailbird version: 1.13.3 (1.13.3)
MacOs version: 14.4.1 (23E224)
