Have you ever tried the search bar in the top part of your mail box? I bet you have! If so the search engine of your mail may have bothered you often by not arranging the search results in a proper way. For example if you are looking for bill which amazon had set you over mail in your mail box by using the search term - ‘Amazon bill product name' you would be greeted by a barrage of search results. Instead of providing you the exact mail, the search engine would provide you with multiple mails that contain an amazon bill in the sequence starting with the newest.

"Mail search is broken,"says Jeff Bonforte, the senior vice president for communications products at Yahoo, which runs one of the most popular free email services, said in an interview to the New York Times.

New York Times quotes that, "Yahoo is also indexing the attachments and links that people include in emails. If you search for ‘photos cricket and India' - as Sriram Chatrathi, one of the leaders of the email project, likes to do - you will get a screen of photos the algorithm determines are connected to the sport, avoiding the need to go through all the emails that contain them."
