Apple mail no longer searches by sender contains

In the past, when I searched in apple mail, there was an option "Sender contains" the search term. Now when I search I see the options "Subject Contains" or "Attachment Name Contains". but there is no option for Sender Contains. I find that very helpful in searching for all emails from a particular domain or for a person when I don't remember one of their names. Is this no longer a feature? Or is there a way I can add that option. It seems to me that that function dissapeared in late summer or fall of 2022, perhaps around the time upgraded to Ventura.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

You can search "From: Michael" (hit return)

I think that will be similar to "sender contains"

Yes I have the same issue, it is very not smart to have removed that feature..

It seems more and more good features of Apple Mail are disappearing..


Are there only juniors in Apple company who never use Apple Mail?


The feature From a domain is very very usefull


I still can't understand why this has been removed


And by the way the search function in Mail of iPhone is really not working well


What are you paid for guys !!??
