“I notice that Yahoo is simply not talking about problems with their new e-mail search feature.”

Their search function is completely broken. It only works on the more recents posts — which is another way of saying it doesn’t work at all.

Yahoo Support has nothing on this.

Word about this failure needs to get out to as wild an audience as possible so that people can make informed decisions on whose email product to use.

It’s been a couple days and it still isn’t working. I’ve sent in a couple of trouble ticket forms. No response. Yea, I’d like to think they’re working on it too. Hmm…I wonder if you get bumped higher in the queue if you paid em the 20 bucks? :-)

The indexes appear to be partially built. New emails for me are being returned but anything more than a few days old are not being returned by any searches. This has been the case for the past few days. I’ve sent numerous emails to yahoo support and have heard NOTHING. black hole.

Yup, I’m having the same problem. I only get search results from the last day since they turned on the new search feature. It’s almost like the old mail hasn’t populated whatever the db the new search runs against yet. (WAG on my part here.) What kind of info would be useful to help fix this as soon as possible? I also REALLY depend on search feature!! :)

The new search feature is terrible. I can’t find anything anymore while the old search always produced the results I was looking for. Don’t know why but as a Mail Plus account holder I expect better value for my money. I’ve contacted Yahoo but nothing…

The new version of the Yahoomail search simply does not work–at least for me. Usually I search on part of a sender address. Recently, searches started returning only a single instance even if there were multiple e-mails from the same person in my Inbox. It isn’t always true–sometimes it will return all instances, but mostly it just returns one. As it stands, the search function is unusable. I assume they are having problems because when I click on Search Tips I get a Page Not Found error. I hope Yahoo fixes this problem very quickly because I depend on Search.

If you want to search your bulk e-mail you can make a directory, move all the spam to that new directory, then search that directory. Still a pain in the ass but it works.

Thank you Yahoo for three years of excellent service. I’ve always preferred Yahoo over hotmail and this shows me why. Simple, clean, and easy to use, Yahoo always wins.

- Does anyone else think Gmail is horrificly ugly?
Great features but you can’t attract new members with that kind of ugliness.

Yahoo- keep the updates coming. Let’s out Microsoft out of business.. ( Ha ha, We all know that’ll never happen but we can all dream right?)
