Require several criteria at once

How it works

AND between two criteria requires both to be true. Google's example pairs a sender and a recipient: from:amy AND to:david.

Examples

• from:amy AND to:davidOpen in Gmail ↗

  Messages from Amy addressed to David.

What it does well

• Makes your intent explicit when a query gets long.

What it does badly

• The help page doesn't say whether AND is required or whether a plain space is enough: its other examples (in:archive payment reminder) chain criteria without AND.Not documented by Google · Gmail Help: search operators
