Google Mail (Gmail) supports wildcard searching using the * character. Here are some examples:

1. Search for messages containing a specific word: from:*example.com - finds messages from any email address ending with @example.com.
2. Search for messages containing a specific phrase: subject:*"hello world" - finds messages with a subject line containing the exact phrase "hello world".
3. Search for messages containing a specific word or phrase: body:*hello OR body:*world - finds messages containing either the word "hello" or the word "world" in the body.
4. Search for messages from a specific domain: from:*@gmail.com - finds messages from any email address ending with @gmail.com.
5. Search for messages with a specific attachment: has:attachment *pdf - finds messages with a PDF attachment.
6. Search for messages with a specific label: label:*important - finds messages labeled as "important".
7. Search for messages with a specific sender: from:*[email protected] - finds messages from a specific sender, John Doe, at example.com.
8. Search for messages with a specific recipient: to:*[email protected] - finds messages sent to a specific recipient, Jane Doe, at example.com.
9. Search for messages with a specific date range: after:2022/01/01 before:2022/01/31 - finds messages sent between January 1st, 2022, and January 31st, 2022.
10. Search for messages with a specific size: size:10M - finds messages larger than 10 megabytes.

Note:

• The * character is a wildcard that matches any characters.
• You can combine multiple search terms using the OR operator (e.g., from:*example.com OR from:*example.net).
• You can use parentheses to group search terms and specify the order of operations (e.g., (from:*example.com OR from:*example.net) AND subject:*hello).
• You can use the NOT operator to exclude search terms (e.g., from:*example.com NOT from:*example.net).

Remember to enclose your search query in quotes if you're searching for a specific phrase.
