I am using the new custom domain feature in cloud mail.

I have approx 800 emails and can search perfectly on my iPad, iPhone and online at icloud.com yet when I'm in the Mail app, i type a simple search phrase, and no results are found. It won't even find a word in the most recently received email.

I have

rebuild mailbox

resynced

deleted envelope files

checked all settings in spotlight

run rebuild scripts in terminal

rebooted endless times

I would simply rebuild the spotlight index if you just upgraded to macOS 13 and have an issue with search.

Follow up: When I responded, I did not see you tried those steps. I'm sorry.

in Spotlight some of the indexes have been restored, mail and documents of all sorts have not. Also search in Mail does not work.

I will probably move to Outlook if this does not fix itself or is fixed anytime soon by some magic trick. Outlook has its own search / index and works independently of this mess. Its a shame, I dont understand how Apple can let this happen, spotlight is like one of the steroid features.

Mail becomes somewhat useless w/o search. I hate to say it but if this is not solveable ASAP I will need to migrate to Outlook. Anyone any idea what to do?

I have removed mailboxes, deleted Index files, cleared spotlight, added mailboxes, rebuild index. Nothing helps. Outlook search works fine.

Andrew - did you end up solving the problem? I'm having the same issue and would love an actual solution.

Any idea what to do? No search function in mail… this is not funny.

Big trouble here. Can't use it without searching. Porting to a new user now, will take some time… terrible.

Ventura mail doesn't give option for inbox folders while searching for a particular mail box

I have already upgraded to 13.1 but still search options in my mail is not the same as it was with Monterey.
