Using Patchew Search

The general form of search string is a list of terms separated with space:

QUERY = TERM TERM ...

Each term can be either a plain keyword, or a predict in the form of PRED:EXP, where PRED is the predefined filter and EXP is the parameters to be applied to the filter. As a simple example:

bugfix from:Bob to:George age:>1w

to search emails titled as 'bugfix' (a subject keyword filter) from Bob (a sender filter) to George (a recipient filter) before 1 week ago (an age filter).

bugfix from:Bob is:reviewed not:obsoleted

to search all emails from Bob that have "bugfix" in subject, and have been reviewed but is not obsoleted (by a new revision of this series). Because there are syntax shortcut for some predicts, it can be simplified as:

from:Bob fix +reviewed -tested

Supported filter types
