Searching is very important, especially if you are trying to find that one e-mail from months ago. Outlook’s search is much simpler, in which you can type anything in the search bar and search for a specific folder or emails from specific contacts. Gmail, on the other hand, has a basic search, in which you can easily find simple phrases. The advanced search allows you to sort through options based on variables like labels, tags, categories, senders, recipients, subject lines, attachments, body content, date ranges, and message size.
