Hello AVAKS,
There are a couple of things that you can check if the search function is not working correctly. These steps from If you can’t find the emails you want in Mail on Mac - Apple Support may help:
• If a specific mailbox is selected in the Favorites bar, Mail searches only that mailbox. To search all mailboxes instead, click All.
• Mail may not be looking in the Trash or Junk mailboxes, or searching encrypted messages. To include them when searching all mailboxes, choose Mail > Preferences, click General, then select the options.
• You may need to sync the mailboxes on your Mac with those on the mail server. Choose Mailbox > Synchronize > [account].
• The Mail folder (located in your home Library folder) may be excluded from Spotlight searching. To check, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Spotlight, then click Privacy.
Have a good day.
Mail search function is not working on my MacBook anymore... Is there any option to repair/reinstall it?
