Gmail's upgraded search results help you find the emails you want, faster
- hyperbrainer 1y ago> Gmail is rolling out a smarter search feature powered by AI to show you the most relevant results, faster. Meaning they will actively be parsing emails and indexing them.
- ggm 1y agoThey already do this surely? I would think to implement high quality Bayesian type spam indexing, it's much the same. They parse over header all the time. All mail providers do to implement procmail type functions. They parse body because they support complex boolean logic over string search. I get it: this feels like a meta step "upward" but really, I am unsure it is. I am also of course like you concerned. It's my mail too.
- hyperbrainer 1y agoI think there is a difference between comparing strings and so on, versus actually semantically processing the text. Spam/Phishing detection already feels invasive to me (although there is no way I would leave that to most users), and this is just one step further.
- Arnt 1y agoThey've done that for years, decades maybe: Searching handles synonyms well. Host your own email. I do.

- rurban 1y agoGmail broke search recently. Many emails are not found anymore. A regression
- 486sx33 1y agoFor whatever reason gmail search has gotten a whole lot worse recently. Between that and shoving Gemini in my face everywhere I’m pretty pissed off at Google. If our whole org wasn’t so locked into Google workspace and there was a good alternative that wasn’t Microsoft 365 I would definitely change our org.
