Since updating to Catalina 10.15 my email search does not work. I type the name as I always have but it does not show any emails.

Give this a try.
- Close mail completely
- Hold Shift and click on Mail
- Close mail completely
- Hold Shift and click on Mail
- Close mail
- Reboot
- Open Mail
- You should now be able to search - give it a go!
If your issue still persists give this a try...
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>
If this still does not fix it. Rebuild the mailbox. Mailbox>rebuild.
OR
If this is a gmail account - uncheck the account and recheck it.
