I wish to create a contact list of all people have I send an attachment to that contains the word CV, how do I do this?
How can I get a list of all people I have sent a given attachment to with Gmail?
gmail;gmail search;attachment
Gmail does not search within the contents of your attachments.  You can use the has:attachment keyword in Gmail search to find all messages that have attachments.  If CV was in the email itself (subject, body) then you could do has:attachment cv.You cannot create a contact list by selecting emails (manually or from search results).  You have to go into your contacts, create a new group, and then add the contacts there.
