Tricks for Gmail

I just found this rather neat trick in Gmail. I wanted to find emails that have zipped or archived files, such as 7zip or rar.

If you type this ‘filename:(7z OR zip OR Rar)’ into the search bar on your email it will quickly go find all mails with those attachments.

This could be adap­ted quite eas­ily to find other things as well. Once you have per­formed the search and if you have turned on the ‘Quick links’ plu­gin in the labs sec­tion, you cre­ate a quick link so you never have to type it in again. (don’t for­get to give it a sens­ible name though)
