I use webmail on multiple computers, including my work laptop - it is not possible to install or use mail client apps such as Thunderbird. I am very reliant on the search function, sometimes using it to find messages I sent 5-10 years ago.
Until recently it worked fairly well, it took a long time to return results but the results were there.
Since Apr/May 2026 the search function stopped working completely. It does not even give results for messages received on the same day. After exactly 11 seconds the search fails and returns an error:
This search request took longer than expected and timed out.
Please fix the search function.
