For me it has been this way on mobile and tablet for at least a year, and I didn’t find a way to turn it off. It gives the results in a completely random order, making older things impossible to find.
Multiple times, I had to sit down in front of a computer to find few months old emails.
Absolute garbage.
Thunderbird for mobile is great! And in contrast to the gmail app, search actually works, lol
Great! Got an iOS link?
Fair… Sorry, I always forget how prominent Apple devices are in the US.
Yeah. You can turn it off. For now…
Not no, it will then hallucinate entire emails just to have something show
I would, but unfortunately I don’t use Gmail
I would estimate that as Most Fortunate.
I “turned off” gmail entirely instead. I don’t want AI sorting my results, or reading my emails to tell me what to write in reply.
I don’t see how this could be worse than the current Gmail search. I have to use the sync tool to Outlook for my work email because outlook’s search is so much better.
Came here to say this, Gmail search has been basically broken for me for years. The preview suggestions when typing in a search query have been more accurate for me than the actual search.
I have a couple of old emails from 2020 that always appear in search results no matter what I search for.
