== 在你寄信之前 ==
* 如果不使用標籤組織信件。可以在信件標題，加上 {{kbd | key= [專案簡稱] }} 或信件內容 {{kbd | key= [自訂標籤] }} ，方便日後整理信件。

== Query operators ==


New letters in inbox
* {{kbd | key = in:inbox is:unread}}

Time related
* Today --> {{kbd | key = after:yesterday }} (Due to the search "after:today" was not completed to cover all emails today, I suggest you use after:yesterday)
* Last Week --> {{kbd | key = after:oneweekago }}


Focus some labels / Cluster with some labels
* My Focus --> {{kbd | key = (label:label_a OR label:label_b) }}
: focus on the letters with the labels: label_a or label_b
* My Focus (new) --> {{kbd | key = (label:label_a OR label:label_b) is:unread }}
: focus on the '''new''' letters with the labels: label_a or label_b

filter emails with multiple labels
* Search {{kbd | key = label:label_a label:label_b}} to filter the emails matched multiple labels

search for all emails with no label 只看沒編過標籤的信
* 列出所有標籤，然後再排除它們([http://groups.google.com/group/Gmail-Help-Organizing-Messages-en/browse_thread/thread/51312c132c3f8e83/8c903082b9ccbbd6?lnk=gst&q=search+for+no+label#8c903082b9ccbbd6 參考資料])：搜尋語法是 {{kbd | key = -label:標籤名稱1 -label:標籤名稱2  -label:標籤名稱3 }}
* 如果標籤已經很多，就顯得很麻煩

不支援部分字串搜尋 [[Image:Icon exclaim.gif]]
* 「搜尋結果不包括部分字串相符的項目，或與查詢條件「類似」的項目。 ... ... 如果您搜尋 vacation，Gmail 會傳回含有這個字詞的電子郵件，但不會傳回包含 vacations 或 vaccations 的電子郵件。」 資料來源: [https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=zh-Hant&answer=82454&ctx=cb 內收郵件未送達 - Gmail說明](test day: 2012-08-11)


Spam
* Spam unread --> 
** {{kbd | key = in:spam before:2007/5/1 }} (means the spam older than 2007/5/1)
** {{kbd | key = in:spam is:unread }}
** {{kbd | key = in:spam is:unread after:yesterday }}  (means fresh spam :P)
* inbox spam
** specified language: using the [[Stop Word|stop word]] to filter
* Tentative --> {{kbd | key = in:anywhere subject:keywords }}
: It will perform the keywords' search in all email box include the spam and trash

=== filename search ===
* Attachments --> {{kbd | key = has:attachment }}
** without attachment: {{kbd | key = -has:attachment }}

* filename search: {{exclaim}}support partial filename (test day: 2012-10-29 the result of filename:7z did not return all email attached with the file format)
