Yahoo Mail strives to get you to the information you need, fast. We’ve recently updated our search experience on desktop, and today, we’re bringing the same feature to iOS and Android. Now, when you search your email using a keyword, we’ll highlight the most relevant messages, in addition to those ordered by date. The time you spend searching for your most relevant emails on your phone will be drastically reduced!

Say you want to pull up information for your upcoming trip, so you search for the keyword “flight itinerary.” Historically, your search results page would sort searches by date, requiring you to scroll through many promotional emails from airlines before finding the right one. Now, you will see up to three most relevant emails at the top of your search results, making finding the info you need that much quicker and easier. And have no fear, all other relevant search results will still be available beneath “Top Results” ordered by date.

“Top Results” is powered by our search ranking and relevancy algorithm that was developed and refined by the Yahoo Mail Research team in Haifa, Israel. We’ve worked hard to get the algorithm and user experience just right, and we’d love to hear your feedback – just go to Settings and tap “Send Feedback.” This new feature is available today, so be sure to update your Yahoo Mail app (iOS | Android)!
