Power searching in Gmail

If you love Gmail & GreaseMonkey scripts like I do, you may want to read Matt Cutts "Three solid Gmail productivity tips" on how you can be a productive Gmail "Power User" by saving time and effort with "Saved Searches" script.

Matt explains:

If you’re a techie person, email is essential but it’s hard to stay on top of all of it. If you use Gmail and Firefox, here’s a few tips to get email under control.

The first tip is remedial: keep most mailing list emails out of your inbox. I already prune as much of my Gmail inbox email as I can. I subscribe to a bunch of mailing lists, but add filters like “If the email is to some-mailinglist, skip the inbox.” That way it doesn’t clutter my inbox (which is my to-do list), but it still gets indexed so that I can search for it later.

On a side not:

While playing with "Saved Searches" you will also want to keep this in mind:

Instead of searching items sent to you with the query “to:user@gmail.com”, you can also use “to:me”.
