Searching for Subfolders

[ellentk]

I've noticed that searching for a subfolder in the new interface doesn't return any that are more than one subfolder below the parent. Are my few tests correct? If so, is there a way of finding sub-sub folders in the advanced search? If not, I believe this capability should be added to the interface.

Ellen, the main way to find a folder is to use the keyboard shortcut G (case doesn't matter). This will open up the folder tree. You can scroll to a folder then click it, or enter the first portion of the folder name to find that folder. This does work with a sub-sub-sub-sub-folder, as long as the folder name is unique.

In the Advanced Search box, you can choose which folder you want to use for the search. You are correct - this only searches the top-level folder names when you enter a folder name.

Here is a work-around:

• Use G foldername to find the folder you want to use. Select that folder (click it).
• In the Search box, enter something which is unlikely to be found, such as aaaaaa.
• At the top middle of the page, change the Searching folder choice from All mail to the other radial button (which will be showing the folder you found)
• Now go into the Advanced Search. The folder you chose will now be selected at the top.
