Highlight text to annotate it

>>YAN HUANG: When I need to go back and search for emails, I don’t always remember what
keywords to search for. But when I do, I always find it using Gmail.
Here’s how. Basically, Gmail has this thing called search
operators. What it means is you can type these programmable
commands in the search box, and you can basically filter out and find anything
-- like, literally.
Let’s say that you want to find a certain attachment.
What you would do is type in the search bar... filename:PDF
or DOC -- if it’s a PDF or Word document that you
want -- or DOCX.
Or you could actually specify the whole filename there.
Also, if you want to, let’s say, find the unread emails in your spam box,
what you would type in is... is:spam...
I’m sorry... in:spam is:unread
That will basically pull up all the unread emails in your spam box. How cool is that?
Same with if you want to find all the unread emails in your inbox.
You would do the same thing. Type in... in:inbox
in place of “in:spam.” So stuff like that, that’s really helpful,
what I’ll do is... I’ll go ahead and list out more of these
commands on my blog. You can get to my blog, if you’re not already
on it, by clicking on the link beneath this video.
Then you can control Gmail to do whatever you want, in terms of when you need to find
something. Hopefully you found this helpful, and if you
