e-mail search slow for iPhone iOS 9

Once I upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 9, the e-mail search function became very slow and sometimes will not search at all. Has anyone else had this issue?

iPhone 4S, iOS 9

Apple mail very poor on iOS 9. I hope Apple fixes this soon.

It's improved now after upgrading to 9.1 but it's still slow on my iPhone 5. I'm still not happy about it and I don't like the fact that I have to press search now before seeing any answers. It was much better and faster on the old iOS. I want to go back.


Another thing that I don't like are these constant reminders from Apple to upgrade the OS. This forced me into the updates that do not work well on my phone. Apple becomes the new Microsoft. So sad ...

Yep, I've found this too.


iOS 9:


Slow searches


Completely misses results. I KNOW for certain that these emails exist in my inbox, when I login to Gmail on web I can find the message easily.


Apple have really messed up the searching on iPhone mail, it is embarrassing. I can't believe I'm going to have to install a 3rd party email app just do search.
