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.
I went to system preferences, internet accounts and switched off my Gmail, leaving an exchange and imap account active. I turned my computer off and back on and search worked perfectly fine, I then re-added my Gmail account and it all seems to be working. I'd guess there's something in the gmail indexing settings that isn't playing well with catalina's new spotlight mail search integration.
Did not work for me.
Same here, was trying to search for an emails. Nothing works.
So far so good for me.
I don't have any issues searching Mail. Only in the pop-up Spotlight search bar.
Not sure if it was necessary to do it twice, but it worked for me!
Thanks for sharing :-)
this didn't work
this is the solution that works.
I also notice that the searching is completely broken in Catalina. Any update on this? Thanks!
I have Mojave in a Parallels volume. Can you tell me how I can get my search working in my Catalina mail again?
Thanks
no search window to find prior email in any mail box of apple email after updating to Catalina
The find feature in the drop down under Edit does not work in the email boxes either.

Confirmed that crackers V1 solution fixed the problem for me too. Thank you crackers!
I have no idea how you knew this, but it worked perfectly. Thanks!
It works, then after a few minutes search fails again. Since Catalina, Drive won't eject, Mail search broken, Macbook Pro Slower, this is BS...
Same here - but I'm not on Gmail.
Definitely something w/ Spotlight itself IMO.
It works! Thank you!
