I am no longer able to search.
1) if I search something all it does is show the numerical number of matches below the search bar - nothing changes in the actual email list
2) if I select the sender (right click) same result - nothing shows up except the numerical number of results which does not help
I tried to rebuild my mailbox but this does nothing.
Any help would be appreciated.
This solved my problem. My search was broken too. I followed the stop/start spotlight as mentioned in the post above and the search is gradually coming back to normal. I think Spotlight needed a kick to get moving.
Summarizing from the link:
1) Launch the Terminal.app (Just copy/paste the string starting with sudo.... and press return)
2) Stop Spotlight and remove the indexing: # sudo mdutil -i off -E / <return>
3) Enable it again by typing: # sudo mdutil -i on / <return>
I tried all the resolutions I can find online, but the issue always comes until I updated OS to v10.15.1.
Yep, the shift-click reverted to not working, but the issue was solved with the 10.15.1 update.
And search is broken again. Fuck.
This worked out for me on my Mac Book Pro.
Thank you.
I had the same problem and this did work for me. Thanks, this was a life saver...
This fixed it? Thank you!
Upgraded to Catalina on my MacBook Air 2013 and my Mail search box stopped working. This solution worked for me. Thanks!
Apparently I’m the only one who’s still fucked.
Disabling gmail and rebooting my laptop did the trick for me. Post reboot I tested without gmail and all worked well. I then added Gmail back and all continues to work well.
Many Thanks.
The latest update 10.15.1 fixes the problems. I've got back my flagged emails, and the search works fine. RELIEF!
so weird solution but it worked!
mail search completely broken in Catalina
