Finding an email when you only remember half a sentence

You do not need the exact word: you can search by what the message was about.

In short

Press the search box above the list (or ⌘/Ctrl + F) and type whatever you remember, even roughly: “the boiler quote”. Nukli searches by words and by meaning at the same time, and inside received PDFs too.

Step by step

  1. Open search

    The box above the email list. On the keyboard: ⌘ + F on Mac, Ctrl + F on Windows.

    1
    Where it is, inside the window.
  2. Type it however it comes out

    “Last year’s electricity bill”, “the man selling windows”. No need for the exact word or the correct spelling of a name.

    2
    Where it is, inside the window.
  3. Sort the results

    You can see them by relevance (closest to what you asked) or by most recent.

    Where it is, inside the window.
  4. Or ask in the chat

    If you would rather describe it in a sentence: “find the email with the boiler quote”.
