Help No search function in email?

[RM22]

So neither my corporate email, nor comcast email, has the search icon (little magnifying glass) at the bottom between the email icon and folder icon, but my gmail acct does have it.

My wife just got GN phone and hers does have the search icon on her corporate email.

Any ideas? Called verizon and they couldnt figure out.

I have the same problem. My verizon.net email has no search icon. Both my school email and live.com email are set up as Exchange using the same settings but only the school email has a search icon.

Rather annoying

are you sure you aren't viewing a 'combined inbox'? I am majorly upset there is no search all inboxes function in the stock email app.

Anyone know how to fix this? My gmail has it but not on my corporate or comcast email?

I have having this same issue with my Galaxy Nexus LTE using the stock email app with Exchange 2003. It seems the phone should be able to search at least the contents of the mail displayed in the folders on the phone. One idea would be to add Mail to the Searchable Items under the settings of the Google search bar. My old Blackberry had a central search function like that and it would find mail in all folders, based on the search criteria. Will someone from Google please investigate and comment on this?

Any update on this?

I am also befuddled by this. I have added an additional email program to my phone (K9) because i couldnt get touchdown to work for some reason. Just so I can search my email. This wasn't a problem on my Thunderbolt.

I have a LTE GN using the stock email app and Exchange 2007 and I have a search button at the bottom of my screen. The buttons starting from left to right are Compose, Search, Show all folders, Refresh & Menu. Note that I'm only using one email address with the app (no combined inbox).

It turns out that you will NOT get a search button with Exchange (it actually runs as IMAP/WebDAV) but you will get a search button if your server also offers ActiveSync.

I had this issue and I was shocked to see that there was no search button with Hotmail, knowing that it does offer Exchange functionality.. I figured I won't be able to search my work e-mail too (when I set it up), anyway, finally I got my work e-mail activated and the little magnifying glass appeared. Now I can search. But the stock e-mail app is so weak and missing features, I immediately installed touchdown and started using it. It is not as fast as native e-mail app, but it has all the features you would need.

I suggest trying 3rd Party e-mail apps.
Not being able to search combined e-mail box is another huge problem. Coming from BB where you can literally do anything you want with any number of boxes, makes Android look very outdated and lacking. But you can get around it with some extra expense and a bit of hassle (running add'l app, battery and storage issues, etc..) otherwise it is OK. (I think google wants everyone to use gmail, hence there are far more options with gmail compared to native client)...
