mail search not working

Hi Burnt Bear,

The appropriate article for suggested steps to take in this instance is If searching doesn’t find the right emails in Mail on Mac for your listed macOS version.

If those don't help, testing in safe mode per How to use safe mode on your Mac can help isolate possible software causes for this behavior. Note that based upon the results of that test there are subsequent actions to take to address the cause.

Regards.
