Here are some examples of useful search terms in Google Mail - particularly useful if wanting to delete / clear out your mailbox. Usually a term & input seperated by a colon.
1. Dates; you can search before a certain date eg: "before:2009/01/01" (can use "after" too or both to give mail between 2 dates)
2. Attachments; you can search by the filename or type eg: "filename: pdf" (all pdf documents) or "filename:minutes" (all attachments with "minutes" in the name).
Search for any attachment eg: "has:attachment"
3. Use the "AND" "OR" statements to search using more than one term eg "filename:pdf AND before:2009/01/01"
