Is it just me or does the search engine suck? (midwest.social)

Edit: Sorry, I mean the Android app!

I can never seem to pull up old emails, like from years back. The search results tend to be limited to recent emails, it seems. Is anyone else having this problem? It just draws a blank for emails that I absolutely know I received years ago.

I am loving the unified inbox though, which I think Gmail lacks!

Search isn't great, but also - there is more than one search function.

Ctrl + K for Global, Ctrl + Shift + K for Local, and Ctrl + Shift + F for Advanced.
