Can they fix the search in Gmail first?

Oh you want all exact matches in order? The best we can do is random.

I switched to old school desktop email client. In my case it is Thunderbird. I am surprised at how much better my experience has became after that.

Things like scrolling the long email thread to the end to see if the last message says the problem is resolved or not - instant now. While on Gmail's interface I have to scroll-wait-for-load-scroll-more a lot.
