Do people at Google use Gmail?

5•mr-pink•2w ago
Do they ever ask themselves why they can't search for an exact string?

Do they ever ask themselves why they can't filter out little signature logos when searching for emails that have attachments?

thank you for any sincere responses

Xoogler here (so I can’t help with any changes or feature requests now unfortunately) but yes, all of Google runs on Gmail. The amount of email I got as a software engineer there was crazy voluminous. I and most Googlers around me made heavy use of filters, labels, and all the text search operators available (see https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7190?hl=en&co=GENIE.P...). I also learned to operate Gmail purely via the keyboard with the built in keyboard shortcuts.

I’d occasionally have the frustration of not finding what I was looking for, but usually if I combined a search with at least one other operator (who it was from, what label it might have received, etc.) I almost always found what I was looking for pretty quickly.

And as for the signature image attachments thing, I think that’s actually an artifact of how the sender compiles the email, not Gmail. The “has:attachment” operator is one I use a lot and is usually quite reliable.

Hope that provides a little insight!

Xoogler here too, yes, we used Gmail and Google Workspace at Google.

You can search for an exact string if you use quotes. I think you can also filter out logos
