When you search your inbox, and you click on one of the results, when you return to the results they are gone and your search has been cleared. You literally have to do an entirely new search for every result you open, so if you are looking for a specific email and are unable to tell which one it is due to similar subject headings you are forced not only to do an entirely new search each time you open a result, but to remember exactly where you were and scroll all the way down to that previous result. By far in the top 5 stupidest flaws in iOS history. How this hasn’t been corrected yet I have no idea.
Got a tip for us?

I haven’t seen that either. Look at one email, hit “back” and the search results are still there.
Must be a software bug, but not worth giving up my jailbreak for. Really sad that something this stupid made it to the 11th edition of their software.
I'm a firm believer that they intentionally screw up the OS with every release so it's never perfect so people will forever come back for more- hoping one day everything will work great with the next release (when Apple's plan is clearly to NOT ever make everything work as it should). The number one killer of software upgrades, which eventually drive hardware upgrades which is how the make their money, is a perfectly working OS. That's their nightmare cuz they know nobody will want to leave it - or buy new hardware that won't run it.
So forever (and since forever) Mac software will have quirks and "bugs" and problems and issues / because apple wants it that way
