What’s this? A middle-of-the-week post?
Google is now testing a new feature with Gmail to allow search results for your email to appear in your web search results (when logged in as yourself). This is a fantastic way to remind yourself when you wrote an email about a given topic that you may be searching about.
Also introduced with this field trial is Gmail’s enhanced built-in search. When you search for a given word or term in the Gmail search box, it will immediately start to show you relative documents and files that are in your Google Drive.
Users can choose to be opted into this field trial by visiting the field trial website:

What’s the advantage?
Have you ever found yourself searching for something online, and then completely forgotten that you’ve written an email to someone about it? This feature is a great way to let you know that you have had communications about a given term or subject.
