Refine search results in Gmail faster with search chips
What’s changing
We’re introducing search chips in Gmail, an easier way to sort and filter search results to find exactly what you’re looking for faster.For example, you can search a colleague’s name and further narrow your results by selecting search chips like attachment type (Text document, Spreadsheet, PDF) or a specific timeframe. You can also filter out certain results, like calendar invites.
