How to search from/to/subject/all fields in Apple Mail 5?

Question

I just upgraded to OS X Lion 10.7 and it included the new Apple Mail.

In Mail 4, I used to be able to choose where to search from (from/to/subject/all). How do I do this in Mail 5?

Answer 1

You can use search tokens, e.g.

• from:michael
• to:bob
• subject:hello

For more info please see the MacLife Article on using search tokens in Lion's Mail.

Answer 2

Start typing someone's name, then (in the search pop-up) select that name from the "people" list. This inserts a token in the search field. Click on this token to change it. You can then narrow the mailbox using the favorites bar.
