Just need to vent and see if anyone else feels my pain here. Why is Apple Mail's search function still so bad? I mean, we've seen tons of updates over the years, but when it comes to finding an old email, it's like searching for a needle in a haystack.
I use Outlook at work and it's a dream. I can find anything I need in seconds, no matter how old. But with Apple Mail? Forget it. Half the time, I end up thinking I've deleted something important because Mail just can't seem to find it. But it's not just me being clumsy with the delete button – Apple Mail’s search is just not up to snuff.
Apple engineers please have nothing on the horizon!

Granted I’m no power user, but I feel like Outlook search is just as bad. Unless I know the exact subject of an email it feels like Outlook search can’t find anything for me.
