Fix your search engine for searching for emails!
It's awful! The old yahoo email, I could put a word that is associated with the email I was looking for and I could find it. I know, absolutely know the email address or name of the person or business and I can put that in the search and it won't find it. Then I have to sit and scroll and scroll looking for the email thinking I must be wrong. Then I'm NOT because I find the email after wasting time scrolling when it used to be simple search. I have no idea what your ****** criteria your ****** search needs for me to find my emails when I need but it is damned frustrating. You think people don't need to search for emails? We do and we need it to be easier by putting in a keyword or even the email address. FIX IT!!

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.
