I came searching for this exact issue. If I have a contact name with the email info@domain.com and I search for that contact it finds none of the messages I sent to that email address. It gives me zero results where I typed in the address and repled. Some it even appears I clicked reply to and the search still doesn't find them. Now, if I type info@domain.com into the search field without selecting the handy little contact that yahoo pops up when I start to type it actually finds them.
Even more maddening is that if I type info@dom and seach it doesn't find them either. if I add a few more characters like info@doma it finds them starting at four characters.
I have wasted so much time trying to locate some important emails that were also somehow deleted from my sent items folder and in the trash. I thought I was going crazy. It's just yahoo going crazy on how they control the search function.

Search function in email works only intermittently. Very frustrating!

"An error occurred while trying to fetch the items in this list."
"Retry"
This is the only search result I ever get. As a paid subscriber, I expect more. I don't see any indication that Yahoo! has even reviewed this message.

My search never works. All I can get is an error message. To find emails I have to sort it by alpha and then scroll through to find the sender I am searching for. The search function worked fine in the old system. Only the new one is broken.

Advanced search no longer available. I need to be able to search in the files I choose....not all emails.

Constantly getting this message when I search my mail: "An error occurred while trying to fetch the items in this list."
Very frustrating -

Search is terrible and it is limiting me to 30 days in the Trash folder. That is far too short. This sucks, I can't find my receipts for online purchases.

I also could not find an email by searching the address. When I searched for words that I remembered in the email, it was found. This is a big problem!
(To other commenters: refinement is still available. Click the down arrow at the right edge of the search box.)

Why is there no search function? or Why did you hide the search function so it can't be used?

Indeed, this is very important. I thought it happened only to me... Please, fix the search feature.

100% agree. Please restore the old search feature that has the capability of refining the search. Give an option to search spam and trash folders since sometimes important messages end up in the wrong place.
