Why isn't email search looking back longer than 2 months ago?

I am searching for old emails (my premium Yahoo email account is at least 6 yrs old), and yet the results only include emails sent/received within the last two months ONLY. To be clear, in Advanced Search, I select "Date is any". This has only started once the new Yahoo Mail came around. I thought the Yahoo Mail Team would have it solved by now, but it continues.





Is there anything I can do?|||Sorry, no answer but I have the same problem.





I’ve had this email for over 8 years and pay for Mail Plus. I’ve also tried before and after dates with no success. I’m using the “Classic” version. I tried switching to the new version but same thing. Search has been goofy over the past number of months but this is not good. I really need this to work.|||Completely agree. The search function within yahoo email has basically become useless. I received no response from yahoo about this two months ago.

|||ALSO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM and I'm also paying for upgraded email. I have sent emails to Yahoo without any response or reply. I guess they just want to abandon email searching beyond 30 days or 60 days. If that is the case, then I and all other need to drop Yahoo as their email and move to Gmail or another service. Clearly, Yahoo does not want us to use their service for keeping our emails... Its a shame I used it from their beginning, but now will have to change unless Yahoo gives me access to my old emails that I used to store there by allowing searching. Otherwise, its just not usable at all...
