I can’t work out why Apple’s applications don’t utilise Spotlights ability when it comes to searching for items within them. Take this as an example. If I search for Saft inside Mail, so that I can find my registration details, it returns nothing.
If I then do exactly the same search via Spotlight, it shows four results under the email messages.
I’m just wondering why one of Apples own applications would have such a discrepancy when it comes to searching?
Depends which mail folder you’re searching under. Make sure you click “All Mailboxes” when searching. AFAIK it does use indexing like Spotlight, so should work :)
Checking “All Mailboxes” does make it work, however the mailbox I’m currently under is the one that the email came into. It’s a little odd that they give you the ability to narrow down your search options by choosing a mailbox, yet it doesn’t bring back results that it should do.
I wonder if this could be because of the folder structure I have underneath the mailbox?
