    Bing bing bing (lol) updating this post becus I have found the answers. Google stated this feature has already existed, but lots of people were unaware so they update they blog and explain it again. below are the commands.


    * "to:me is:starred" shows all messages sent directly to you that are starred
    * "is:chat from:heather" shows all chat conversations you had with Heather
    * "is:starred -in:inbox" shows all your starred messages that aren't in your inbox (a good way to find anything important that you might have accidentally archived)
    * "from:elliot filename: pdf" shows all messages from Elliot that have a pdf attachment

    They also built a search auto-complete, so you don't have to remember the syntax everytime your searching. I use it and love it. Now finding pictures and documents are a breeze. Well hope thread helps others and as it was useful to me.
