Not with gmail you can't.

As of a couple of years ago, gmail search was a crap-shoot. It would consistently fail on some things, occasionally fail on others, and work just fine on cases that looked (to me) to be the same.

Yes, this was on a paid account.

I use an IMAP client with Gmail and it works great. I agree that the web version of gmail has pretty poor search (which is extremely ironic)

I didn't know that IMAP supported search.
