Hello,

I'm just asking a quick question, I haven't seen these mentioned anywhere else. I have a few questions about minor features but ones that are important to me.

The keynote mentioned that mail has an upgraded search function, can I search for text in the body of a message? Often I remember a topic or keyword, but not who sent it. Or I know who sent it but have recieved fifty emails from that person in the meantime, making it a needle in a haystack situation. At the moment I use gmail in safari to search by keywords, but if I can do it natively, I'll be very happy.

Also, can I search through documents (pages, numbers) in spotlight? This is a bit of an annoyance at the moment because when I work on a project, I end up with multiple files split across multiple apps (a PDF in iBooks, contact list in pages, a breakdown in numbers). Searching in spotlight helps, but at the moment it does not include pages or numbers. Has that changed?
