Does Fastmail have decent search that works on mobile? Gmail’s search is just too good. I’m currently using mailbox.org but it’s impossible to search for old emails that are not already downloaded to your phone. The only way is the use web interface and it’s annoying as hell.

Yes, the same search is available in either our app or from any web brower on mobile. We use the Xapian search engine.

It looks much the same either in brower or app. Here's what it looks like on my phone:

They have a hybrid mobile app, it's not as smooth as a native one could be, but as far as I'm concerned search works perfectly.
