I was very excited to get an invite shortly after it’s opened and I still have all the emails that tell me my friend XYZ accepted my invitation to Gmail.
It was a time when getting a Gmail invitation wasn’t trivial.
The search has been broken for me for a while. I get better results in the iOS mail app. Searching from within gmail will just flat out not show old results.
When I look for things on Gmail on my laptop, I get detailed and complete results, when I do the same on the Gmail app, it seems like I get all results up to maybe two years ago (and it doesn’t show the rest). This second thing is really annoying, but at least on the computer version I always get everything
That’s almost the exact opposite experience for me. Maybe there’s been a more recent update, but I remember searching for specific phrases in decade old messages and the gmail (web site) search would just flat out refuse to show things but I could find them from my phone. I’ll try again, but to be honest, I’ve somewhat given up on google search in general for results that aren’t recent.

Here’s a video recalling how exciting it was to have a Gmail.
Nowadays it’s different and possibly less good, but searching in Gmail is still very easy, which is awesome

I think I got mine via some kind of lottery system back in the day. I used to be a big fan of Google back in those times. Was amazing to have 1000mb.
