No. I stopped using Gmail for this & other reasons, and switched to something that actually works.

What did you switch to? Because I switched to Thunderbird and now find my search is even worse than it was with Gmail.

Gmail search erronously overlooks as words any words Gmail Compose has littered with redundant embedded tags.

...plus overlooks the plain text MIME part entirely!

And we thought Google was supposed to be good at search...
