Less Lumo, more mobile search.

Using this app on the go is complicated, and shouldn't be. One shouldn't have to open every mail from a sender to find something.

When I yet again raised this on discord I ended up with a bunch of angry folk defending proton… felt very unwelcome as a paying user for a decade… and still waiting.

Can we be a bit more pragmatic and have encrypted server side indexes already? Not really any different than the emails.

I can only agree with the other users. To me this is the no-go for switching my entire family setup to Proton. If this function was available we would make a family (Duo) subscription today. How can a AI and sheetsapp function be made before this???

This is an increasingly frustrating feature omission for anyone who relies on and references historical data in email (anyone who works in tech and surely other industries). I'm sure there are challenges implementing this, but it's a table stakes feature that really can frustrate users.

Lumo team: just to let you know that when asking your AI about this feature, it believes that it's already been implemented. You might want to look into this and update your training materials. Here's what Lumo said to me when I asked if I can search message contents on iOS:

"Yes—the iOS Proton Mail app can search the contents of your messages. After you turn on the “Search message content” option in the app’s settings, the app builds a local encrypted index of all your decrypted emails and lets you run keyword searches across the full body of each message. No additional server‑side support is required, and the search remains private to your device.

At present this feature is fully available; there are no announced changes or new plans needed for iOS message‑content search. If you’d like to enable it, open the Proton Mail iOS app, go to Settings → Search, and toggle Search message content on. Once indexing completes, you can use the search bar as you do on the desktop/web versions."

Without search in mobile app proton mail is not usable as a primary email account. I'm a paying subscriber for many years - and this keeps me from making it my primary platform.

JESUS F*CK. Let's go already

(Smart) search functionality is CRUCIAL nowadays. The fact that I'm seeing that it's not been implemented after MONTHS of requests is ridiculous. This one thing is going to make me cancel my sub. I agree with Andre that commented about the fact that they need to stop focusing on new products. Have fewer that are polished and established. THEN branch out.

I think Proton really needs to stop focusing on new products for a bit and make sure the features of their core products are complete. I would love to switch to Proton fully, but the lack of message body search on the mobile apps is preventing me from switching to the service.

I finally figured out why I can’t find any email using the proton app. It can search body content. Now I regret migrating to proton mail, but I’m considering going back to Gmail because this will have serious impact on my life which as filing for taxes (receipts).

Search needs improvement. It is just ok in the web app, but it is terrible in android app. Please fix it.

Just downloaded the new update. No searchable message content as far as I can see. I’m incredibly disappointed, that’s the one feature a lot of us were hoping for coming to mobile.

It is definitely important to get this feature on mobile app (android for me). Being able to search inside the body of email is one of the key asset of gmail. I will not migrate from gmail to Proton as long as it is missing. It is the only missing feature to make me make this switch

Fully agree! Considering changing from gmail but this is a show stopper...

critical importance. Emial is like the file system today. so searching email is essential when you are managing life admin.

The lack of full-text search made me stop using Proton. I initially switched from Gmail and was happy with it until I couldn't find information a few times. I thought my emails have disappeared or that I couldn't remember (but I was sure it was there!) and thought I was going crazy. I found out the hard way that Proton actually is unable to search email contents and that's a dealbraker for me. At this point it's the most critical feature for me.

@urge11 this is not the same as offline mode. Since I am online when i search and cannot search the content of the email (like I can on the browser mode)

Just can't believe it's not available. Keeps me and my family from migrating from gmail.

Do you know what the problem can be with my proton mail account? Many websites reject these addresses for some reason. For example, some forums write that the mailer is forbidden. I tried to register at https://www.tenderbang.com/ but registration mails are, obviously, blocked by mailer as they have never been received. I have a free account, maybe the reason is in that? Do I need to pay something?
