I don't use spotlight to search for mail or use Apple Mail at all, so mileage may vary. I'm normally doing string searches for file contents or names which it handles perfectly fine.
> And I don't find manually searching for emails to find something like flight dates that easy. I've flown to/from Mexico city 6 times in the past couple years, and the airline tends to send like 12 emails pertaining to every trip I book, so asking Siri is much faster.
Fair enough, and I did just try Siri on the mac to find them which was... sort of convenient, but ultimately took longer than simply opening Calendar, CMD+F typing "flight" into the text field.
