Aol mail search not working 2017

The nostalgia of AOL Mail! Unfortunately, AOL's search functionality has been known to be a bit finicky over the years. If you're experiencing issues with searching your AOL Mail inbox in 2017, here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

  1. Check your search syntax: Make sure you're using the correct syntax for your search query. For example, if you're looking for emails from a specific sender, try using the "from:" operator followed by the sender's email address. For example: from:[email protected]
  2. Use quotes: If you're searching for a specific phrase, try enclosing it in quotes. For example: "hello world"
  3. Check your search filters: AOL Mail allows you to set up custom search filters. Make sure you're not inadvertently filtering out the results you're looking for. To check your search filters, go to the "Settings" icon (looks like a gear) in the top right corner of your inbox, then click on "Search" and "Filters".
  4. Clear your browser cache: Sometimes, clearing your browser cache can resolve issues with search functionality. Try clearing your browser cache and then retrying your search.
  5. Check for AOL Mail outages: It's possible that AOL Mail is experiencing an outage or maintenance issue that's affecting search functionality. Check the AOL Mail status page or Twitter account to see if there are any known issues.
  6. Try a different browser: If you're using a specific browser, try switching to a different one to see if the issue persists. Some browsers may have compatibility issues with AOL Mail's search functionality.
  7. Contact AOL Support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you can contact AOL Support for further assistance. They may be able to help you troubleshoot the problem or provide additional guidance.

Remember, AOL Mail's search functionality may not be as robust as other email providers, so you may need to be more specific with your search queries to get the results you're looking for.
