search
Search function does not search the Trash folder when set to "All Mail". Is this by design? It seems it should search across all folders - seems intuitive, since the "All" option precedes all other options.
Repro steps:
1. Delete an email that you just received, thus sending to the Trash folder.
2. In the search bar, search for one of the words found in the subject of the email you just deleted.
3. The search results will not contain your email that was just deleted.
4. Now click the down arrow for the extended search options
5. Change the field "Search in" from "All Mail" to "Trash".
6. Click Search.
7. Now it find your email in the Trash folder.
So, seems "All Mail" does not search the "Trash" folder, but it should. If not, then could it be called "All Mail except Trash" or something more intuitive?
Many thanks,

Same thing with Sent emails - "All Emails" does not include emails that were not replied to.
If I search for a certain email address it only shows emails that I have received from them, and not emails I sent TO them that were never replied to.

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.
