Greplin’s Chrome Extension Now Makes Gmail Search Infinitely Better

I think the 30-40 and 20+ second claims were not intended to be factual statements.

If I do a from:, to:, and search keyword, Gmail can often take around 20 seconds; normal keyword searches for recent items take about five seconds.

Gmail slowdowns seem to be common for older Gmail users with a ton of mail and lots of labels; Google has acknowledged the problem and claimed they're working on it, but the only people who have had fixes are ones who've complained loudly enough to get moved around to a newer server.

I appreciate your feedback. I've been on gmail since 2006 or so with lots of labels, but only ever about 500-1000 messages at any given time.

I was trying various searches today, with the from:, to: operators, as well various keywords and the longest lag I had was a little over 2 seconds. I've heard people complain about it, but never to the tune of 20 seconds. I genuinely thought it was exaggerated for effect in the FA.
