On Thursday, Google announced a new AI-powered search feature for Gmail. It seems to work well, but if you miss the old search results, you can have them back.
If Email is ever sorted in any order other than purely Chronological, it is a deadly affront to humanity. Even the “sponsored” two emails at the top of Gmail is an insult.
The feature no one asked for in Outlook chapter 1. “Relevant” section out right at the top of the chronological list in case you didn’t want to immediately see the keywords you searched for in descending order but instead preferred completely unrelated attachments from Janice in Finance.
nah, results sorted chronologically are the reason I can never find anything in my email in my first attempts. I always need to think of other terms to include in the search to eliminate all the hay that comes in the results.
As in adding labels to each email? I gave it up years ago for taking too much effort. It’s also a half measure when it comes to achieving better search results.
You know you can automate it right? Like long before the advent of AI we’ve been able to automatically tag things based off their content/source/whatever you want really.

How can an email be “sponsored”?

This is why we developed the tagging system

Unfortunately Gmail’s search is also completely fucking broken.
