    I like Protonmail, but the search bar is terrible. Even when I set its search parameters to "all" it appears to still only search the text in the subject lines of emails, and not the full text of the actual emails. I have a Gmail account that forwards to Protonmail, and the Gmail search bar always returns comprehensive results and shows what I'm looking for. With Protonmail, I sometimes can't ever find what I'm looking for because I can't remember the exact wording of the subject line of an email. The thing is, a search function that searches the full text of emails shouldn't even be that hard to add to Protonmail. It's a simple word search in a relatively small pool of data. You could probably find the code on Stack Overflow! I pay $5 a month for Protonmail, and I'm happy to do it. But when I see that Protonmail doesn't even have a decent search bar like so many free email services do, I am honestly baffled.
