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 results
from:David Kadavy OR from:Lloyed from Speakeasy OR from:Traction Conf
No results
from:david kadavy || from:lloyed from speakeasy || from:traction conf
Only searches for david kadavy
I'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

AND
added for clarity)Try quoting the search phrase:
or even,
Both 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.
