Q: Searching iCloud mail

Hi,

I have hundreds of messages saved in my iCloud in box on my macbook, but when I try to search for the messages from the icloud interface, it never finds them. For example, if I want to find a message from Jane, and I search for Jane, it comes up with 0 matches. However, when I search from within mail, it comes right up. Any ideas why this occurs?

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.6.7), 2.13 Ghz, 4 GB

    I have the same problem! About 75% of the time, when I search my iCloud mail in the Safari browser, not only does the search come up empty, but it makes the whole inbox disappear. Says it is "loading" for about 5 minutes before it says " inbox cannot be loaded." I have seen this type of post on several of the Apple support communities, dating back to 2011. I have the newest version of safari, and have attempted Apple's "fix" of clearing the history and/or resetting safari. This did not work. APPLE! WHAT SAY YOU?! Please fix.
