If you don’t match the terms in your email exactly right with your query, gmail starts returning email that matches one of the terms which is rarely what you want.



What would you expect it to do? How is it supposed to know what you want if you don't provide it with the exact search terms? Shouldn't it do partial matches if there are no full matches ?


It should look for things that match the meaning of the words searched.

E.g. what’s possible with embedding where the query terms are matched with similar messages that mean the same thing.
