Email search not working properlu

@XfinityArmand​ Any idea when this issue will be resolved? I spent a lot of time with someone from xfinity on the phone last week. Tried 3 different browsers. Same issue every time. I was told the issue was an xfinity issue and that they were going to work on it but nothing has happened. Getting very frustrated that I cannot use the search function.

We can most certainly dive in a bit further here if you're continuing to have troubles in utilizing the search function on your email. Please feel free to send us over a message with confirmation of your first and last name, and full-service address to get started by using the steps outlined below. 

To send a "Peer to peer" message:

Click "Sign In" if necessary

• Click the "Peer to peer chat" icon

• Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

• Type "Xfinity Support" in the "To:" line and select "Xfinity Support" from the drop-down list which appears. The "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line

• Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

• Press Enter to send it

My email search hasn't worked for a month now. Nothing that I've tried works.

Could you please send our team a direct message with your full name and full address? Our team can most definitely take a further look at this issue.

@XfinityArmand​ I have been trying to solve the exact same issue for several weeks. Any resolution?

Hello there, and thanks for letting us know that you've been experiencing the same issue. Before we look into this further, can you please send us a private message, including your full name, and your full address? You can do so, by clicking on the chat icon, in the top right hand corner of your screen, and once you click on that icon, you should be able to search "Xfinity Support", which should then give you the ability to send us a message. Thank you in advance, and I look forward to speaking with you! 

Same issue.  Can't anyone just give us instructions to fix this issue

@user_4931df Hello and thank you for reaching out over our Xfinity Community Forum. I am so sorry to hear that you are experiencing the same issue with your Xfinity email search function not working as well, that would definitely be really frustrating. I would be more than happy to help in getting this resolved. If we had simple instructions that we could post here to help resolve the issue for everyone I promise we would, however, resolving the issue does require some additional troubleshooting steps, and possibly opening a ticket on your specific account to try and get to the root cause of what may be causing the search function issues, and get this resolved once and for all. To continue privately and complete the needed troubleshooting steps, could you please send our team a direct message with your full name and full address? Our team can most definitely take a further look at this issue.

Hey there, @user_9c36a7

Have you cleared your cache and cookies on the device you are trying to view the email from? Have you tried accessing the email from a different device? Our team is going to do our best to help. 

@XfinityMartinB​ I have tried from multiple devices (including both windows and macOS) as well as a variety of browsers. Clearing cache and cookies had no effect.

@user_9c36a7! I am sorry you are still having issues with your Email search feature. I have seen a few other customers with the same issue and we are looking into getting this resolved as soon as possible. I am sorry that I do not have an estimated resolution time available. We appreciate your continued patience. 

@XfinityGabrielS​ I am using a web browser and going to login.xfinity.com. I have used 3 different browsers, MS Edge, Firefox and Google Chrome. The search results do not go past 3/23/2022. Very frustrating as I can't search for anything past that date. Nothing else is in the search results before that date.

@cb804 can you try now?  

Now my search results only include emails from today.

@raylibrary​  I am hoping this site is monitored by Xfinity but I just checked and my search problem is now corrected. Thank you Xfinity, I think? Hope yours gets corrected soon. I spent about an hour and half yesterday on text messaging a comcast person and then on the phone with another tech but no resolution until about an hour ago. 

@XfinityGabrielS​  Thank you Gabriel. I appreciate your honesty because the people I spoke with yesterday wouldn't even acknowledge there may be an issue. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

@XfinityGabrielS​ My search is working properly this morning. Thank you!!!

Thank you for confirming that with us and I am glad it is working for you now! Have a great Friday and weekend! 

@XfinityGabrielS​ 

Please put me in the search group to have this search issue resolved.

I just spent 45 mins on the phone with no resolution.

CSR told me i was the first one to notify Xfinity of this issue so i read forum messages to him from more than a year ago. He hung up on me. 

PLease help! 

@user_46ea50 We appreciate you reaching out on our Xfinity Forums, I'm sorry to hear of your experience on the phone. It's never what we want for our valued customers. The thread you've responded to is a 2 month old thread and reviewing it, it does appear that the initial issue had been resolved a few months ago. You may be experiencing something different. Can you tell me a little more about what's happening in your situation so we can better assist? 

I can absolutely understand the aggravations in not necessarily finding what a search is being requested for and I would love to help get this figured out with you, @user_cf43f0!

Will you please send our team a direct message with your full name and full address?

It appears that all email customers are having the same problem with the SEARCH function.  Being a COMCAST Business Customer, not having the ability to retrieve old emails is unacceptable.  Please correct this problem ASAP

We look forward to hearing from Comcast Customer Service

Hey there, @user777. Some users are mentioning they are not currently having issues with the search function in their email at this time. What browser and device are you attempting to use the search function in your Comcast email inbox?

I am having this problem as well. Spent an hour with a rep to no avail. It's been ongoing for several months. Multiple devices. This needs to be fixed. I've been a laughingstock in my business because I can't find emails.

Having the SAME ISSUE. Search hangs. This has obviously been going on for a long time with a LOT of people. And it shouldn't be that hard to solve.

Same issue here. Search does not work looking for old emails and messages even though they are there from a few months ago.

Thank you for letting us know. Can you tell me more about your experience. Are you seeing only specific emails missing, or only showing results from a certain period? Does this happen on all your browsers? 

@XfinityBrandon​ does not show most of the emails when searching. 

@Mr__Ed Thank you for reaching out about the issue you are having when trying to search your emails. Are you having this issue when logging into your email account at Xfinity.com or while using an email client like Outlook?
