Gmail search behaving weired

Gmail search is behaving in a weired

way. For example if I have an email with Subject or Text “AMDSystemPrices”. Gmail sometimes does not search this and sometimes show this in suggestion [See screen shot].

Similarly IF I have an email with subject “PsyQ2010Files.zip” and I search keyword “PsyQ”, Gmail still not including email (marked with red box) in search results [see screen shot].

Even if I include complete subject “PsyQ2010Files”. It only suggest me my actual email

Obvious issue with this search is that search keyword are concatenated which could avoid it to be appeared in search results, but from user perspective it is a valid email text/subject. On the other hand I think Google will search such words but Gmail is not doing Why? Can anyone comment

Make Calls from Gmail

I am surprised when I opened my Gmail inbox today. What I see is a calling service service offered by Gmail!


This is what Google told us about

You can now place calls to landline and mobile phones from within Gmail. Just dial any phone number and you’ll be connected. Calls to the U.S. and Canada are free in 2010. International calls are billed at our insanely low rates.

You have to download a voice plug in for using this service

Google voice service is currently offered in US only. They have plan of expanding this to additional countries
