Well, then it must be really, really easy ("with gmail in a web
browser", because it's *trivial* in something like Thunderbird [1].

I.e. you search on Date(s) (or Age) and a string in the Body.

FWIW, I have a two-decade++ archive and frequently do searches in it
(or in parts of it). Piece of Tiramisu!

[1] Not that Thunderbird is such a great email client, but just to show
how elementary this functionality/need is.

Yes, and Luddites may have corespondents of similar fixed ideas. And
then wonder who it's a lot of trouble to deal with commercial
messages (and I don't mean spam).
