I enter "tax 2019" (without the quotes) in the Gloda search field and search. I expect all emails returned by the search to contain both "tax" and "2019" somewhere in email. If the search results are sorted by relevance, the emails do contain both strings. If I sort the emails by date so I can see the most recent emails returned by the search, they only contain one of the search strings not both as expected. Is anyone else seeing this behavior?

I tested using 'deleted emails' in search - no quotes, just the words It says 'messages mentioning; deleted, emails' So it means those words are searched using re: 'and', 'either', 'or', and 'similar'

Search results: relevance Under 'relevance': Contains various emails that contain either 'deleted' or similar eg: 'delete' or contain 'emails' or 'email', it also returns any emails with both 'deleted emails' exactly. But 'the one's with 'deleted emails' are not necessarilly top of list.

Under 'Date': Contains the same results displayed in order of date.

But if the one I'm looking for is not in the top 10 then I need to click 'More>>' or use a relevant filter to narrow the search.


I tested using "deleted emails" in search - included the quote marks It says 'messages mentioning; deleted emails'

The search returns emails that have both eg: 'deleted emails' and 'delete emails' and 'Delete email'.

selecting 'Date' option returns same emails but in date order.
