I have a huge list of senders who I would like to filter in Gmail. If you can help me figure this out, I can finally get over this headache.I've tried these queries.from:(David Kadavy OR Lloyed from Speakeasy OR Traction Conf)No resultsfrom:David Kadavy OR from:Lloyed from Speakeasy OR from:Traction ConfNo resultsfrom:david kadavy || from:lloyed from speakeasy || from:traction confOnly searches for david kadavyI've tried each search individually and they do return many results, so it's not that there are actually no results to show.I have read the Gmail documentation, and it doesn't help me. https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7190?hl=en
How to use OR operator in Gmail
gmail;gmail search
The example in the Google docs is of the form:from:amy OR from:davidSo, I would certainly go with your 2nd version. However, I think it might be getting confused by the spaces (ordinarily a delimiter) so it might be searching for something like: (parentheses and AND added for clarity)from:David AND (Kadavy OR from:Lloyed) AND from AND (Speakeasy OR from:Traction) AND ConfTry quoting the search phrase:from:David Kadavy OR from:Lloyed from Speakeasy OR from:Traction Confor even,from:David Kadavy OR from:Lloyed from Speakeasy OR from:Traction ConfBoth quoted search phrases seem to work for me, although the former matches Google's example: subject:dinner and a movie so would be the preferred style.
