Search by Subject & Folder
I use Mail search almost everyday and the old Yahoo mail let me search by subject and folder. folder search is now gone in the new version. How do I switch back or get this daily used feature back ASAP?

Searching by subject makes it so much easier to be able to delete duplicate emails that are in chronological order. Please bring back the feature!

If you open a folder, then you can search emails in that folder. But the problem is, you CANNOT search ONLY inbox!
When Inbox is displayed, search will search ALL emails. In old version Advanced search, you can select Inbox for "Search in" filter.
Plus the search results do NOT show folder name any more.
I used these 2 search features A LOT. The new version makes me almost IMPOSSIBLE to work.
Very frustrated,

When I do a search for my emails, it no longer shows which folder these emails are in. It used to show where each email belong to and it was a lot easier for me to organize my emails.

I've noticed that if you first click on the folder you want, it will be added to the search field, and then the other filter options (From, To, Subject, Date, Contains) can be used to search within the chosen folder only.
But this isn't obvious, so would be nice if:
(1) Folder" was one of the Advanced search filters, where you can start typing in that field, and it would filter among the existing Folders, and then you could select the desired Folder. (Also have a scroll bar to look thru all the Folders, but definitely the ability to type, so that the Folder list could be narrowed down.)

Separately, it'd be nice if:(2) you [Yahoo dev team] added a "Search" explainer page as a Topic within https://help.yahoo.com/kb/new-mail-for-desktop, and
(3) when someone clicks on the "Advanced" Search Filters, it would show them a link to "Learn More" that would take them to that "Search" Help Topic

The same problem here. I use the mail search everyday. The appearance of the folder is really important to me
