How do I use the Highlight and Search method?

First, ensure that this feature has been enabled on your account by clicking on the Preferences menu. Under General Email Settings you will see a section for 'Highlight & Search'.

Next, when viewing an email, simply highlight the word or phrase (up to 50 characters) you would like to search for and after a 1 second pause the pop-up menu will appear.

Lastly, click on the 'Search Yahoo! for 'your criteria'"...' section and your results will automatically populate in a new window.

Is there a character limit on Searches?

Yes.  The Yahoo! search feature will only recognize up to 50 characters per search. Therefore, if you are searching for a phrase, the search & return reults will only apply to the first 50 characters of that phrase.

Is there a limit to the number of Search results I can receive?

Yes. The Yahoo! Search feature can return up to 50 results per search (10 results per page).

Why am I not receiving Search results?

Search results are compiled directly from the Yahoo! database. If you perform as search that produces 'no results', it is likely that Yahoo! does not have an entry for that match in their database.

Hint: If you return 'no results', try to broaden your search by using a general term to begin. (ie. search for cars, rather than Corvairs)
