Anyone have much success zeroing in on the exact emails that you search for
using Comcast's web mail search function?

For instance, I can enter AT&T in the search field, and no matter what
restriction I put on the search, such as To, From, In email text, I get a
whole bag of emails that have nothing to do with AT&T, and for which no
matter how you examine the results, there's no way the search should have
come up with most of the emails.

Some searches are 95% correct, but most are just plain embarrassing.

Anyone successfull use the search function?

I have used it somewhat successfully. It's a crap shoot. I have found one has
be very careful with the search term, go general then narrow down. Sorry can't
be better help.
